Today we celebrate the fact that despite all the commotion that Irish home grown music can be at most of the time, hidden in the back ground of the commercial contenders out there and major label acts, and in one of the most difficult and competitive markets of the year in the Music industry….. our very own home grown actTHE SAW DOCTORS can come out triumphantly and gain a TOP 5 OFFICIAL Chart position.

The Top Five are as follows:

1. X Factor Finalists 2010 – Heroes

2. Black Eyed Peas – The Time (Dirty Bit)

3. Rihanna – Only Girl (in the world)

4. The Saw Doctors – Red Cortina

5. Ellie Goulding – Your Song

OUT NOW:: (exclusively to iTunes). 100% of All proceeds go to St Vincent de Paul Society**.

Beating off competition from Katy Perry, Rhianna, Bruno Mars + more, The Saw Doctors were quick to take over the No.1 spot on iTunes upon the release of their New single, a re-worked acapella version of RED CORTINA last Friday Dec the 3rd. And today they soared to No. 4 in the Official Irish Charts resting comfortably between Xfactor finalists, Black Eyed Peas and Rhianna.

After celebrating a No.1 Album: The Further Adventures of…., and a busy year of festivals (V Festival, Oxegen) and sell out shows across America, the Uk and Ireland, The Saw Doctors have partnered with Smyths Toys to raise much needed funds for the St. Vincent De Paul Society. Every download of ‘Red Cortina’ Acapella version from iTunes IRELAND will be matched by a 1 Euro donation from Smyths Toys, i.e. if there is 2,000 downloads of Red Cortina Acapella from iTunes, then Smyths Toys will contribute 2,000 Euro to the Society of St. Vincent De Paul. If there are 5,000 downloads then Smyths Toys will contribute 5,000 Euro.

Red Cortina (First Love Stays With You Forever): A song about the first time you fell in love… As the lyric says: “Christmas Party Seventy-Seven… Heart Beat Like An Earthly Tremor…. First Love Stays With You Forever……”
