Album Notes

dennisandavid consists entirely of Dennis Coleman and Dave Sullivan.

In that way, we are a duo, having only two members.

We are professional musicians that write and perform (fabulous) music in two distinctly separate styles and genres; Irish Music and Rock&Roll.

We began singing together in 1964 and have performed together in a variety of bands off and on since that time.
Ultimately we decided to work as a duo because we sing well together, we write (fabulous) music together, we are friends, plus all the other guys ended up getting jobs.

We recorded our first original music in 1970.

Today we perform live in a variety of settings, and with the advances in technology that now make recording economically possible, we spend as much time as possible writing and recording our own (fabulous) music.

Most of our songs are written collaboratively, although David certainly writes most of the music. We both sing. David also plays the piano, guitar, mandolin and bass guitar. He also claims to be a musical genius, which Dennis attempts to ignore.

Dennis is, to quote David, "only the drummer". He plays drums, conga drums, bodrhan, tambourine, castanets and occasionally has been know to play the fool. He writes most of the lyrics and chips in with his own musical ideas, which David often ignores.

Beside the music, David is an accomplished portrait artist and Dennis writes novels and stories, some of which have been self-published. But who cares anout that. Let's move along.
We also have wives and children but that is another story altogether.

Our plan is to spend the next 20 years writing (fabulous) songs for ourselves as well as others and hope to live extravagantly, yet within our means.

Now, regarding the songs on this CD... We like them all and hope that you will also. Everything that you hear is us, and we wanted to be sure that,with this collection, we covered a lot of the different styles that we enjoy, and we have tried tell an interesting story with each song.

We sincerely hope hope is that you enjoy each song; and that each song has it's own character.
