Power of Dreams
“Immigrants, Emigrants and Me” - 20th Anniversary
Shows
Power of Dreams were formed in Dublin in 1989 by songwriter
Craig Walker. The band’s debut ep “A Little
Piece of God” was voted Single of The Week in UK
music weeklies Melody Maker and Sounds, which led to
them signing to Polydor.
Their first album, “Immigrants, Emigrants and
Me”, received glowing reviews worldwide with Craig
Walker garnering praise for a lyrical maturity beyond
his 18 years and the band’s spiky indie pop assault
winning fans among press and public alike.
Power of Dreams embarked on a global tour, taking in
more than 20 countries in the space of a year, including
Japan and the US. Live, the band were hailed for their
blistering sonic attack and soaring melodies.
Over the next four years, they released a further three
albums and continued to play shows worldwide, including
four return visits to Japan. However, commercial success
never quite matched the level of critical acclaim achieved
and so the four members went their separate ways in
1995.
2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of that
landmark debut album “Immigrants, Emigrants and
Me” and to mark the occasion, the band have been
asked to reform for a series of live shows.
A 2CD limited edition of the album, containing all
14 original tracks plus the debut “A Little Piece
of God” ep and various b-sides, will be released
on 1st March 2010.
