Made in Belfast - New cd from White Star Momentos

July 12, 2012 - PRLog -- White Star Momentos Ltd, local Belfast company and the largest Titanic gift supplier in Europe have just taken delivery of this amazing new Titanic and shipyard themed cd .

Review by W.S.M. Director Stephen Larkin :

“Made in Belfast” is a collection of 8 songs 7 of which are penned by local musicians Noel McMaster & Conal McCartney to celebrate Harland & Wolff and the fateful Titanic now in its Centenary year. These discerning and indeed perceptive singer/song writers/musicians have created something special here on many levels…you could be forgiven for thinking that some of these songs were written up to and including 100 years ago and being sung around many a fireside in the “Old traditional way".

There are few songs that make the hair on my neck “stand on end” on first listen and we have 3 notable highlights here – Whiskey for the Boys, The Air Tasting of Oil Boys and Harland & Wolff. I have no doubt that some astute “Famous” singer will borrow a song or two from Messrs McMaster & McCartney and either have a “hit” or be included in a Hollywood remake/blockbuster sometime in the future…who knows.


" Here's the good bit " as we say in Belfast, each song has a narrative lead - in by Titanic historian and Chairman of the Belfast Titanic Society Stephen Cameron. He tells us about the nicknames, the working conditions and indeed about the Titanic itself. As I stated at the start of this report, if you ever wanted a Titanic / Shipyard music cd, this is the one for you.

Oh and just as an added extra it is even packaged in its own brown paper bag - just like in 1912.... Simply Wonderful.
