    When I Was A Boy - Review


    "In an age of formulaic pop devoid of melody and intelligent lyrics Killip goes against the grain but to anyone who enjoys catchy hooks and infectious playing the 12 tracks will have you singing along after one playing. ‘Johnny Is A Runner’ is a cracking track and with decent radio airplay could be a chart success. Equally ‘Radioman’ underlines Killip’s brilliant song writing talent and ear for sharp lyrics. Catch this CD and you will love it! Guaranteed."
