    Concerto for Constantine is three Dubliners: singer and guitarist Mark Greaney (formerly JJ72's frontman and songwriter), bassist Gavin Fox (formerly of Turn, Idlewild and Vega4),and drummer Binzer (formerly of The Frames, BellX1, and Halite; he also plays drums for Mundy amongst others.
    In the summer of 2007, Mark and Gavin found themselves bandless simultaneously. They had, over the years of knowing one another, sporadically yet passionately discussed the notion of forming a three piece rock band. It was time for action. The first, and only person to be sought for drumming duties was Binzer. He has been refereed to as the Irish Jimmy Chamberlain. Enough said.
    A rehearsal took place in late August 2007. It was raw. It was visceral. And having enough gigs under their collective belt from over the past decade they knew immediately that it worked. Bones shivered, hearts beat faster and ears hurt. A beautiful thunder was born. As individuals, the experience and talent is impressive. As a band it is colossal. This is three men at the top of their game, playing the music that they have always wanted to play.

    SIMON AND THE GHOST

    The end of the world may or may not be approaching and Simon and the Ghost are hear to sing us out with glory. Musicians of the Apocalypse as it were. Completely disconnected from our so-called scene here in Ireland these three young men really couldn't give two flying ****s for whats ''hot'' right now. What jeans your wearing, what haircut you have. Fashion has infected many peoples ears these days like a disease and well quite frankly its time to throw this whore out of the bed having realised she has corrupted you to your very core. Music is music and one thing this band can promise is plenty of it. These three young men met only a short time ago and with their powers combined (much like the 'power rangers') they have modelled themselves in the format of a jazz trio who delve into places they have never dared to go musically. Experimentation and musicianship is the name of the game here people. With a goal of earning the title of a 'power trio' much like those of the mid-late 60's, Simon and the Ghost blend their love of Jazz, Metal, Rock, improvisation and grand 'soundscapes' to create their distinctive and unusual sound. Vote Simon and the Ghost!!
