Review: The Secret Garden - Weekend Away (Dicky Continental Remix ft. Ioan Omar) (Ramrock Red Records)

Another 'Weekend Away' party experience arrives at the airport gate as Dicky Continental and Ioan Omar turn-up to get away to The Secret Garden without any passport issues!

As rumoured with The Secret Garden (aka Alex Vickers) original 'Weekend Away' (with a  Dadhaus Remix - see review HERE).

Passport control clearly didn't see that Dicky Continental is in fact Rich Thair who has added live drums and bass plus the tricky-Dicky "puts the keys hook through a Sherman Filter far too many times. Rich says, "Alex’s main keyboard line is so strong and hooky so it was always going to be fun working on this. So much soul and warmth." - it certainly gives a hazey beach Balearic vibe that's brought back to earth by the vocals, courtesy of Ioan Omar (check the lyrics below).

Omar, apparently will feature heavily on the forthcoming Dicky Continental album ‘Queer The Pitch’ (Ed. is this something to do with the World Cup) that's going to also come out on Ramrock Red Records hopefully this year!

P.S. we're also told that the DC album will feature 18 year old Sofia El Kamel on bass– the talent is stacking up!
