First Release For Ambitious Collaboration Project As Operation Lightfoot Gets Underway.

The first single from Operation Lightfoot is available from 18th August and features Vanessa Murray as the first of twelve guest performers to feature on an exciting new recording project.

The debut single Eighteen was co-written by Vanessa and Operation Lightfoot founder Luke Moore and recorded with Jon Lawton at Crosstown Studios in Liverpool.  The song is the story of a young musician that is on the road to success and the sacrifices she may have to make along the way.

“I feel very lucky to have worked with a group of people I get along with and that are so passionate about making something great” says Vanessa. “Eighteen has been a great experience”.

Liverpool Sound and Vision rating 7/10

To sit in a venue and watch any number of bands or seasoned solo musicians ply their trade, thrill a crowd and look pristine throughout is something that any of us can take for granted. Sometimes though we forget where the musicians start out from, the nerves of debut or even 50th gig still thundering round their instruments and still fresh as the hour after a storm abates.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

George Harrison understood the heartache behind it, so much so he gave his solo album the title All Things Must Pass, that feeling and despairing knowledge that something has come to a natural finish, no matter how much people might clamour for it not to be true. For The Endings, the run was superb, a Liverpool band with a very big heart at its core, some great and incredible sounds and above all a belief that what they were doing was just another step in a long journey.

The sound of the station announcer’s voice at Liverpool Lime Street Station booms over the crowds making their way home after a hard day’s work in the city or as they pile in to the bars and music venues dotted around arguably the most vibrant city in the North of England. In amongst the organised chaos, the serenity of having a conversation with Matt Breen of The Endings about music, the band and being on the next step of his career is an oasis of calm.
