About the Artist

All About Eve emerged on the late 80s UK "gothic" scene. The band's nucleus of erstwhile rock journalist and Gene Loves Jezebel bass player Julianne Regan, along with Tim Bricheno (ex-Aemotti Crii), provided much of their song material. After various early personnel changes, the rhythm section was stabilized with Andy Cousin (bass; also ex-Aemotti Crii) and Mark Price (drums).

Given encouragement by rising stars the Mission (for whom Regan had in the past sung backing vocals), All About Eve developed a solid following and with a backdrop of hippie mysticism and imagery, provided a taste of the exotic with a mixture of Goth rock and 70s folk. Early singles "Our Summer" and "Flowers In Our Hair" achieved great success in the UK independent charts and after signing to Mercury Records, their modest showings in the national charts finally gave them a Top 10 hit in July 1988 with "Martha's Harbour".

Both albums reached the UK Top 10, confirming their aspirations to be among the front-runners in UK rock in the late 80s. However, this ambition was dealt a blow in 1990 when a rift between the band and guitarist Bricheno resulted in his departure to join Sisters Of Mercy. The recruitment of Church guitarist Marty Willson-Piper on a part-time basis revitalized the band's drive, although the subsequent album, Touched By Jesus.

Product Description

To the delight of their die-hard fans, Regan, Willson-Piper and Cousin embarked on an impromptu acoustic tour as All About Eve in early 2000. The highlights were captured on this CD Fairy Light Nights vol 1.

This review is from: Fairy Light Nights, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

I have to confess I am not all familiar with All About Eve. I came across Fairy Light Nights 2 at my local record store last year. I finally decided to get it on a whim because I always saw it in the cd bins collecting dust (literally). I am so glad that I did. I felt like I was in the audience throughout the album. The music takes front and center stage. The noise from the audience is minium. Production is minimum at best. I love the music. The songs are short and sweet. I felt like I was listening to The Church but with female vocals. After hearing this album, I definitely plan on getting the first volume as well as the band's other albums (or at least try to). I wish I discovered the band sooner though.
