CHAMPAGNE ANIMAL

SHE’S A BEAUTY

DELLA MANNION

+   Comedy from Gerry McBride

Fresh from being shortlisted in the ‘Hotpress Lift Off Competition’, Champagne Animal are quickly becoming one of irelands most exciting unsigned bands.

They formed a year ago after members met through The Dublin Gospel Choir. The unique, yet accessible, sound of Champagne Animal stems from their eclectic tastes and experiences in music, which range from rock to gospel, pop to classical. This broad spectrum of styles results in a sound which is fresh, punchy and emotionally charged.

While they have been together for just around a year, they have managed to pack in a lot and have secured themselves some much sought after slots, such as appearances at The Ruby Sessions, The Sunday Roast, Balcony TV, Whelans and The Workman’s Club, and were especially grateful to end 2010 on a high when they were asked to support Fight Like Apes in the Village at The Phantom New Year’s Eve Ball.

Della, a singer/songwriter from Ashbourne Co. Meath has had many comparisons made to female artists such as “a sultryfied Randy Crawford”, but the one that perhaps best describes the singer with her deeply expressive tones and passionate delivery “Joni Michell meets Nina Simone”, Ryan Tubridy. Della is inspired by several genres of music which is evident in her work. She is as much at home singing the blues as she is singing Jazz to contemporary and Funk, but most definitely sings from the soul.
