The Onnells played a mixture of music from ^ their five albums: "One Simple Word," "Fun and j Games," "Boylan Heights," "Ring" and "Darker 1 Days." 3 "We decide what we are going to play by pick- J ing the songs that have done the best over the jj l. years," Mike said. "Fun and Games," "Slackjawed" | k and "Sal" are some of my favorites to play." i 3 "Mike usually decides what we are going to play ft and the order, but I would have to say that my fal* vorite to nlav is "'74-'7S" because the rrnwrl real. - ly gets into it," David said, j Christopher Collins, a dedicated Connells fan spent the week travelling with the band and logged almost 1,000 miles on his car. r "My ex-girlfriend got me into The Connells, so I really started following them in 1990 when 'One s Simple Word' was really popular," Collins said. "My s favorite is 'Scotty's Lament' because it reminds me of British rock 'n' roll." Connells fens can expect a new album in the fall s or early next year, according to Doug MacMillan. J "The working title for the CD is 'Blue Gremlin.'" 3 The Connells have music videos for their hits l "74-75," "Slackjawed" and "Over There" and are I i presently working on their fourth, "New Boy," off their latest album, "Ring."
