Lineup and details for Ram's Pocket Radio on Thursday 16th February 2012
"...about to scare the ******* out of every other piano based band on the planet"
-Tom Robinson, BBC 6 music
"Truly remarkable, truly epic... A great name and a great band"
- Rory McConnell, BBC Radio 1
"Rams' pocket radio is an artist of verve and versatility, keep this frequency clear"
- Francis Jones, AU magazine
"...a sense of high melodrama, piano and bass swelling up on a crest of drums and sweeping guitar... An absolutely perfect connection."
- Steven Rainey, BBC
"..you'd be forgiven for thinking they've been on the live circuit for years."
-Edwin McFee, Hotpress, Hot for 2010 list
"Peter McCauley is a frightening talent that will soon be on the world's radar I have no doubt. I can't wait to hear what he does next. I think it
will be something very special indeed."
-Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol/Q Magazine
RAMS' POCKET RADIO is Peter McCauley, a drummer, pianist and songwriter from Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
Unfettered personal expression is the focus, and with the timeless works of the 1950's product designer
Dieter Rams in mind; purity, simplicity and longevity are the first concerns.
For his live performance Peter is joined onstage by friends, and between them they create an intense and
unmissable musical experience. Within a year of being, the band has performed extensively throughout
Northern Ireland and more recently the UK and Germany playing a variety of well attended shows and
performing with artists such as Darwin Deez, Iain Archer, Duke Special and Tuneyards. Despite only being
together a short time the band have already picked up an award from the Music Quest competition, and were
positioned in the exclusive Hotpress 'Hot for 2010' list in February. Rams' pocket radio has gathered a
volume of positive reviews and has received airplay both locally and nationally - this includes two Radio 1 NI
live sessions, selection for the prestigious BBC 6 Music 'Introducing' podcast with Tom Robinson, national
airplay on Huw Stephens show on BBC Radio 1 and Single of the Week' on Rick O'Shea's RTE 2FM show. Most
recently, RAMS' supported the legendary Foy Vance on a stint around Ireland, performed an incredibly well
received set at this years Glastonbury festival on the BBC Introducing stage, as well as undergoing a short run
of headline UK tour dates and Northern Ireland festival appearances.
