Neil and his band launch eagerly anticipated follow-up to debut album ‘Remember To Smile'.
Released in 2007 on London based KIDS Records, McSweeney's debut single ‘Postcards' picked up repeat plays across Radio 1, 2 and 6 Music as well as a warm critical response. The album proper was similarly well received and so too were his live shows; Guardian critic Dave Simpson awarding Neil a four star review for a solo set upstairs in a Sheffield boozer.
Expect fresh material and a big sound from his new line-up.
