Skylarkin'
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skylarkin' is Mic Christopher's first and only solo album, which was released posthumously following his death in November 2001. The album was finalised by Karl Odlum (of Mic's old band, The Mary Janes) and David Odlum (of The Frames). Many more of Mic's friends and fellow musicians from the Irish music scene contributed to the album including Glen Hansard and Colm Mac Con Iomaire of The Frames, Lisa Hannigan (famous for her work with Damien Rice) and Gemma Hayes.
Skylarkin' entered the Irish charts at #39 in 2002 and in March of the following year won Best Irish album at the Meteor Awards. November of 2004 saw the album achieving Platinum status in Ireland (selling over 15,000 copies). In 2005, Skylarkin' was voted #14 in the Hot Press "People's Choice" Top 100 Irish Albums of All Time.
The song Heyday (which was released as the title track of an EP in October 2000) was recently featured in the Guinness ad Quarrel.
