HAVING finally won the establishment approval after which they have long slavishly hankered, Irish Hiberno-Australiana six-piece, HOLT, remind their album-buying public that their debut 10-track album, 80 MILE BEACH, is still available in Road Records, Freebird, HMV Grafton and Mary Streets, through other selected record shops countrywide and from www.desertedvillage.com. Here’s what THEY said about 80 MILE BEACH, the first release on deadslackstring records: "A subdued and truly lovely debut" - The Sunday Tribune "A warmer Johnny Cash … Simplicity and candour are obviously the keys to Holt’s power … the music itself is more than enough reason to dive headlong into Holt’s world and possibly never come back" - Hot Press "Unabashedly schmaltzy" - The Irish Times Singer, Dave, is currently on tour with the living Bob Dylan, Seattle crooner, Robert Blake (see http://sameroomrecords.com), but more Holt gigs will be announced shortly (we swear). haroldholtmusic@yahoo.co.uk deadslackstring@yahoo.co.uk
