The Minnows Reviews


Worth the wait⦠infused with the deep irony of the title and some great songwriting typified by Free Man Freeman, a majestic cinematic experience complete with Spaghetti Western-style chorals, bells, harmonica and strings. Impressive stuff.â Daily Mirror

âA cracking album⦠if you like Snow Patrolâs brand of epic pop then youâll be charmed by this well-crafted set of infectious and melodic tunes.â Irish Daily Star

âBeautifully unhinged tunes, all steeped in simple uncluttered grandeur... Rafferty is an acerbic wordsmith with a distinctively languid set of vocal chords... never a dull moment.â Belfast Telegraph

âTo get a true taste of The Minnows, you need to give them a bit of time but once you do youâll keep returning to it⦠songs like Something New and Baby Blue are potentially the best of their career to date. A record befitting gentlemen of their vintage⦠the lyrics bear the war wounds of some grim emotional experiences. â Hot Press magazine

âIncredibly raw and honest⦠it manages all at once to have some of Mike Scottâs pith, The Blue Nileâs over-arching melancholia and Paddy McAloonâs sense of a tune. Album centre-piece Why Donât You Phone Me Anymore is Elbow-like in scope.â FATE Magazine

âThese days The Minnows tend to follow their own hunches. Take their own direction. Do things the way they want to. Seriously impressive⦠itâs great!â Sunday World

âHow can a bunch of miserable sods make such great music.â Irish Mirror

âOlder but happier in their own skins⦠a deeper more considered effort from the band.â News Letter

âMourneful, jangly, polite⦠impressively honest.â Sunday Business Post

âConsidered and mature⦠The Minnows may be older and wiser but the likes of the rootsy and enjoyably melancholic single Free Man Freeman suggest there may be be life left in them yet.â Irish News

âGuitar pop with a nice line in yearning and melancholy on a wonderfully titled album.â Sunday Life.

The Minnows are Michael Rafferty, Kevin Carson, Paul Maynes and Stephen OâSullivan.
