THE MARY Wallopers have released a new track from their forthcoming debut album ahead of an upcoming gig in Birmingham on Halloween.
Cod Liver Oil + The Orange Juice is a Scottish song made popular by Hamish Imlach in the ’60s.
A definite fan favourite, this ode to drunken revelry and its associated romantic pursuits showcases the Wallopers talent for picking a great song and making it their own.
Cod Liver Oil + The Orange Juice is the second track taken from The Mary Wallopers forthcoming self-titled debut album, due for release digitally and on CD on October 28 via BC Records (vinyl due for release on 13th January 2023).
The album is the culmination of several years of the Wallopers touring all corners of Ireland, collecting tradition songs before dusting them down and reimagining them in their Dundalk rehearsal space.
The resulting record perfectly channels an island’s musical history while never once sounding overawed by the task in hand.
It features eleven tracks arranged by the band and recorded at Ailfionn Studios in Dublin with producer Chris Barry.
The Mary Wallopers set off on an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland this autumn and play on Monday, October 31 at O2 Institute 3 in Birmingham.
