Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Love Will Find A Way, that is what we are taught, that is the hope of the ones who see the promise at the end of romance that such times will be found once more, that love is forever, even if the times and the people involved may change.

There was always a thought that Liverpool’s Hegarty, one of the most enjoyable of bands to have made the last decade their home, might never taste such moments again, that the beauty in their music might never be recaptured, be seen as part of the next decade, life does move on, times change, but as the old saying goes, form may be temporary, but class is forever, permanent and always found to devoted to the creation.

It is the creation of Hegarty, perhaps bruised, but never bowing and scraping to destiny’s fickle finger as it passes judgement on all who see the world with an eye of tenderness and feeling, that the new single, Love Will Find A Way is the most beautiful and stirring of recollections, an homage across time to a earlier Beatles sound but one very much grounded in The Hegarty work ethic of hard tenacity and devotion to the scene in which they have been a fond part of.

Love Will Find A Way, a single in which heralds a new dawn for the band, an outlook that has never wavered, especially for David Hegarty, a measure of cool, a calm in the public eye. The sound is that of the tornado just as it starts to whisper, the ground swell from the bottom up is a force to be reckoned with but one that will gently place you in a safe environment, a reminder of the pleasure bestowed upon Dorothy Gale when she was returned to the familiarity of her family.

It is to family that we seek the reminder of what we could lose, to have Hegarty back in such a fashion is a thrill, and one that cannot be allowed to fade away.
