The Senators – Welcome to my World (1988)

I know nothing about this band as there have been a small number of groups with this name and Wikipedia doesn’t help this time.  I picked up a cheap CD single, as was my habit in the early nineties, in an independent record shop in Soho – it might have been Sister Ray.  Anyway I loved the songs and the group, which seemed to feature 2 guys singing together as a duo.  I carried on and found 3 albums by them eventually – all excellent.  They are brothers Jim and Mick Kitson and Sean Lyons (guitar) – at least Discogs helps with some basic info.  But who cares – the music is all that matters, and this is excellent stuff. Like many bands though this little duo got nowhere, releasing just three albums before calling it a day.  A pity, as they were really good songwriters and singers.  Best on this debut are ‘A Quiet Life’, ‘Little Italy’ and ‘Srange’ – but most of the songs are good.
