BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai recently caught up with Warwick to discuss his new folk rock album, Belfast Confetti, and the current status of The Almighty. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Warwick has no illusions about Belfast Confetti striking a chord with Almighty fans any more than his previous records did, even if it does stray into the realm of blues and rock. If anything, Warwick is pleased to have two separate yet solid fanbases.

“It’s one of those things where you hear about someone in a successful band going off on their own, and you always fear the worst. People have blinders on saying ‘It’s not like his old band.’ Of course it’s not, because if it was he’d never have left the band. I knew it was going to be tough and lonely, that I was going to have to start again, but I didn’t for one second expect of feel I had the right to demand of anybody who liked The Almighty to come along. I knew I had to earn that from the very beginning. I did my first solo show in 2002, so it’s taken me seven years to build things up to what it is. Now I stand alone and people go, ‘Oh, that’s Ricky Warwick, he used to be in The Almighty, ’ and that’s great.”
“I still rock as hard as I ever did. I crank it up through an acoustic amp and it’s fuckin’ loud, so I still get off on that. That hasn’t changed. I’m still excited by that and I’m certainly not going to deny or shirk away from my past because I’m very, very proud of it.”
