Artist History Alternative organic pop artist Rory Faithfield grew up playing in garage punk bands around Sydney Australia, before moving to Dublin. Described as..."a strength that will move and inspire you with jolts of positive energy." Rory's attitude was best summed up, albeit tongue in cheek, with "Dance Your Own Dance" from his debut album of 1998. Developing his craft amongst the heavily populated singer-songwriter scene around Dublin, Rory started quietly slipping off to Germany during '96 and '97, expanding his repertoire with literally hundreds of solo acoustic gigs. Here and now in 2002 comes the long overdue second album, 'Blood, Bones, & Soul'. Recorded in Dublin, with Bill Shanley and Ciaran Byrnes sharing production duties at 'The Cauldron Studios'.

Group Members ..most of the time solo acoustic...those known to have braved the presence of a possibily unbearable control freak are...Bill Shanley (Guitars, Keyboards, etc, etc), Woody Woodmansey (Drums), Joe Van Der Linden(Bass) Pete Lorenz (Guitars)

Press Reviews "...songs that uplift the human spirit and encourage individualiism, as in Dance your own Dance. That's Rory Faithfield in a nutshell...a superb debut album. JOHN O'REGAN, ROCK'N'REEL "With singer-songwriters ten a penny, it's refreshing to hear one who actually seems to know what he is doing... remember where you heard it first". WIL FULFORD-JONES
