Future guest Paul Page (whipping boy) is back with his new project The Sentimental Tourists with Dave Long

The new 3 track EP ‘Living in Smoke Dreams’ from the Sentimental Tourists is released today, Friday 17th October.

It is the result of a collaboration between vocalist Dave Long (Into Paradise) and guitarist Paul Page (Whipping Boy). Their debut 4 track EP was released in August.

The new EP is available exclusively from: https://thesentimentaltourists.bandcamp.com

Songs written and performed by Dave Long and Paul Page.
Produced by Jimmy Eadie, Dave Long, Paul Page.
Mixed and mastered by Jimmy Eadie.

Praise for their debut EP:
The EP is a shimmering beauty that has broken my heart in several places..’ Alan Corr, RTE.ie

‘Those hankering after Whipping Boy should check out Happy Beatle, Long’s clever lyrics over fuzzy guitar playing, before the EP ends with the stripped-down, elegiac Don’t Make Me Wait. Hopefully, this EP is an indicator of things to come.’ Killian Laher, No More Workhorse

‘It’s hard to pick a favourite but if I had to it’s ‘Happy Beatle’. Long’s mournful refrain of “sooner or later, you’ll find your way back to me” smothered in Page’s gorgeous guitar. It’s beautiful.’ Paul McDermott, To Here Knows When, Great Irish Albums Revisited.

‘...these tracks not only capture a unique artistic vision but also evoke a rich emotional landscape that lingers long after the final notes fade away.’ JanglePopHub

Pals .. the inscription on the grave of William H Bonny aka ‘Billy the Kid’ made famous in the movie Young Guns II ..

True Story .. 22 years ago I visited the Billy the kid museum in Fort Sumner New Mexico where the grave site is .. I spent the day taking photos on my film camera .. Photos of the museum and of course the stone with the PALS inscription.. Only to realise when driving back to my apartment in Albuquerque that I had no film in the camera.. no joke 😢
