Michele's Back In The Industry...

You can't keep a good woman down, and in singer Michele McGrath's case, that goes double. After missing out on Louis Walsh's new girlband by the skin-of-her-teeth our Shelly is back, and has managed to get to the Pop market waaay before her former svengali mentor’s group with new boygirlband 'Industry'...

We had high hopes for sultry Michele McGrath taking center stage with Jodi Albert in Louis Walsh & Kian Egan's new band (we hear that they may be called 'Wallflower'?). But sadly, it was not to be for the raven haired beauty, she didn't make the final five cut and was sent back to her photocall career modelling with Assets. Awwww.

But faster than you can say Louis-Lost-A-Lovely-Lady, Michele hooked-up with former Bubble Hits boss James Hyland and the Pop band 'Industry' was born. And no waiting around either - their first single 'My Baby's Waiting' hits the charts next month. Busy bees.

We caught up with Michele and her three hot band mates - Donal Skehan, Lee Hutton and Morgan Deane - at The Sugar Club last week when this sleek new Poptastic act were unveiled to the press. They even played a number of tracks live. Yes folks, we said LIVE. With a full backing band too...

A number of well known faces from the fame industry turned-up to see Industry as did industry journalists and a number of powerful people from the music industry. Wow, all this Industry referencing is getting kinda industrious. Ahem.

Guests at the showcase included: Julian Benson, Linda Martin, Emma O'Driscoll, Liam McKenna, Sinead Watters, Nikki Hayes, Mark McGrath, Jenny McGrath, Layla Ahmed, Alan Hughes, and a certain Chris Newman who seems to be the current apple of Michele McGrath's eye... We'll say no more there...

Industry's debut single, 'My Baby's Waiting' is produced by Stockholm-based Ten and will be released in Ireland and the UK in June... It's just good old honest to goodness Pop folks and the high production glossy video is certainly worth checking out...

Sinead Watters, Nikki Hayes

We have high hopes for this new Irish offering and wish Michele, James and the rest of Industry best of luck with this new venture. The thought of them going-up against Louis' wee Wallflowers in the charts is a tantalizing concept... It will be like Blur versus Oasis all over again!

My Baby's Waiting is released on the 19th of June...
