For which car bombing in Northern Ireland did Tim Hegarty and Ross Graham release a support album?
Across the Bridge of Hope Across the Bridge of Hope is a compilation album created and recorded in support of victims of the Omagh bombings, by Tim Hegarty and Ross Graham. The album was released on July 13, 1999, by White Records. The album included various songs by Irish artists, as well as two poem recitations by actor Liam Neeson. The album draws its name from the second of these two poems, written by twelve-year-old Sean McLaughlin, who wrote it shortly before he was killed in the bombing.
Northern Lites "Northern Lites" is the ninth single by Super Furry Animals. It was the first single to be taken from the "Guerrilla" album and reached number 11 in the UK Singles Chart after its release on 10 May 1999. The song was written by singer Gruff Rhys and was inspired by the El Niño phenomenon. The track's title refers to the Aurora Borealis, a natural light display which the band were convinced they had seen prior to the song being written. Rhys wrote the melody for "Northern Lites" several years before it was completed but only decided on a calypso style after he wrote the lyrics. The steel drums on the track are played by keyboardist Cian Ciaran and were added on the spur of the moment after the group saw them "lying around" Real World Studios during recording.
