Bio:
Big rock. Originally a trio with a drum machine. Barry Warner
provided keyboards for an early lineup, Tom Jones
(ex Average Contents / Toucandance) (keyboards/rhythm guitar)
in later years.
Liam Darcy was replaced by Ray Fean (Johnny Fean's brother) who'd played in one of Richie Laurence (AKA Larry Richardson)'s
bands (see the help needed section).
The band spent about a year working on their LP during 1987-88, playing few
gigs. This period seemed to cure them of their tendancy to drift in Simple Minds/Genesis
and yielded new arrangements of songs like "Tunnel Vision" and "Tell The Boys".
The LP was recorded in Montreaux in Switzerland with Bowie producer Dave Richards.
It was released at the end of 1988 in the USA and in March 1989 in Europe.
Tuesday Blue certainly nailed their sound on their debut album but too many of
the songs lack memorable melodies or pop hooks and too often the bands sound
favours bombast over subtlety.
Most of the band members are still active. Mike Ryan and Ralph
Lindheim still perform regularly in Limerick. Dave Keary toured with Riverdance
as did Ray Fean, who was later with Coolfin and had done lots of session work.
He's also the drummer with Horslips now Eamon Carr has retired. Ray is of course
Johnny Fean's brother.
