| Marc Roberts album 'Meet
Me Half Way', is on
release. The album consists of twelve songs. Ten
original self-penned songs meticulously moulded with the confidence of a
master craftsman. Some co-written (see album credits), and one, which has received a considerable amount of media attention. Why?
Well Marc co-writes with international singing star Daniel O'Donnell
who got married last year to his beautiful wife Majella. And it
was at one of these writing sessions that Majella in confidence said she
would like to write a song for her future husband and surprise him by
singing it to him on the day of their wedding. The song called 'When
I Found You' is a beautiful ballad, and has become on of the most
requested songs on Irish radio. It has also proven very popular at
weddings. Last month Marc released 'On The Road' as a promo
single to the radio stations & like it's predecessor it has become
hugely popular with it's west coast American sound.
On listening to the album, you can
instantly hear echoes of all the other various artists that have
influenced him and are now here creating the tapestry that is Marc
Roberts. People like James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, David Gates
& of course John Denver. The only covers on this album
are two that were recoded by John Denver. 'Shanghai Breezes',
which he wrote and 'Today' which he recorded many years ago on a
live album.
