Gilbert O’Sullivan’s career has spanned 50 years. His first single success ‘Nothing Rhymed’ was released in 1970 and almost overnight it achieved Top 10 status In the UK and Europe charts. His 1971 debut album Himself was littered with the most perfect examples of his art and craftsmanship.

His second, 1972’s Back To Front, firmly cemented Gilbert amongst the world’s best, with Top 10 singles and no. 1’s around the world, including the classic ‘Alone Again (Naturally)’ which topped the US charts for six weeks and earned him three Grammy nominations.

British recognition soon followed with the songs ‘Clair’ and ‘Get Down’ reaching the summit of the UK singles charts and his LP Back To Front topping the album charts. In the same year at the 18th Ivor Novello Awards Gilbert was named ‘Song Writer of the Year’. To date he has won three Ivors and in recent times performed alongside other artists at BBC Proms in the Park. He has also made three appearances at Glastonbury including the main stage, and toured extensively throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe, Japan and Australia.

Upside Inside is the third single from Dublin’s fresh-faced indie five-piece STRAND, and second in promotion of their upcoming debut EP, titled SOUNDS. An ode to doing ‘nothing at all’, Upside navigates the mundane nature of being an adrift 20-something. Bassist/lyricist Shane Aherne’s penmanship and the band’s performance on the track, however, are anything but mundane. The interesting juxtaposition provides the tune’s charm – leaving the listener with the feeling that maybe it’s okay to be aimless once in a while.
