Mr.Sweeney's Kaydee D-day

Kilkenny / Wicklow band, Kaydee release their new single, Mr.Sweeney on April 17.

Just another band unlikely to succeed? I hear you cynics drawl - well, just maybe, the fact that this gaggle of musicians are stimulated by a steady diet of Iain Banks and Ian Mc Ewan novels will stifle your quickly rising yawns.

That and the fact that Joey, the band's drummer, nearly hijacked Tara and forced her to join the band after hearing her dulcet tones emanating from her native Wicklow.

After two weeks of searching he finally tracked his muse down and begged her to be Kaydee's new voice - but she wasn't interested! "I wasn't really that bothered at first, I rang Joey back out of politeness," Tara explains. " But ended up joining Kaydee the very next day!" Tara, is actually the band's second singer, their other singer Jan, left and the band were faced with re-shooting several videos and re-recording their entire debut album which is due out this summer.

A face to snatch the hearts of thousands, a voice somewhere between Aimee Mann and Harriet from The Sundays,and a chorus that won't quit; Kaydee have it all sewn up. The second track "Never replace", bodes well and ill in equal measures, suggesting Katell Keinig in one breath, All About Eve in the next. A tentative recommendation.
