Wanting
to record a live album - the guys were keen to record as many
songs different to their studio album as possible (only 2songs
are from Just Be Real). They used the opportunity to show some
off their interpretations of traditional Irish songs as well as
reviving old songs from their Storm Thieves days.
It was originally planned that Just Be Real be recorded live before
the lure of the studio beckoned. The 2 wanted a snapshot of their
unique live rapport - they got it - and were most happy with the
results...
