Discography

The Clare Voyants have released 2 albums.

Their 1999 debut, "Pass it On", featured a number of traditional Irish tunes as well as the original songs "Pass it On", "The Dangerous Ones", "The Poet and the Soldier", "Danny Boy RIP" and "William Waits". All were written by frontman Shay Veno. Additionally, "Pass it on" includes a hidden track with the scathing hate ballad "I hope you Die", also known as "Lets Be Friends" and "Sensitive Love Song". In 2005, "The Dangerous Ones" was included on the soundtrack to an independent film entitled "Little Victim" starring Robert Wagner.

The 2004 follow-up "County USA" also featured an assortment of Traditional and original songs. Originals included the title track, "Song of the Bottle" and "The Night the Pub Burned Down", all by Shay Veno. Additionally there is an original song entitled "Guardian Angel" written by Billy Brett. Two instrumental originals were also included. "The Widdley Reel" by Jane Hilton and Shay Veno" and "Marcia's Waltzes" by Jane Hilton.

Live Shows

During their live shows, the devoted fans and friends of the band (known as "Voyantmaniacs") perform a number of truly bizarre "audience participation" rituals. Those who have never seen a Clare Voyants performance likely feel they have stepped into a grotesque alternate reality governed by Irish "Rocky Horror Picture Show" fans. This all adds to the fun, and the lively atmosphere of a Clare Voyants show.

In addition to the traditionals and Originals, the Voyants perform quite a few well-chosen cover tunes. These include a number of songs by Shane McGowan, Christy Moore, the Waterboys, Bob Dylan, U2, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, Simon and Garfunkel, Finbar Furey and Bob Marley.

The Clare Voyants disbanded at the end of 2006. All artists continue to play around the Phoenix Metropolitan area.
