   About Bill Coleman



Taken from music blog 3hive:

"Essentially, Bill Coleman is a finger-picking-guitar-style singer-songwriter from Cork, Ireland. He released his debut album I'll Tear My Own Walls Down in February '07, and has some free downloads on his website. I go to his live show every chance I get. The guy knows how to put on a show, especially when he has his full band (at times, reviewers try to compare his live shows to The Flaming Lips, for the sheer zanyness, and positive, uplifting vibes to come from the music and the persona of Bill himself.

Some songs may dredge you through the darkest areas of the mind at times, but somehow, Bill always manages to find some light at the end. His quiet/sad songs are simply sublime and majestic. His upbeat songs leave you with a smile on your face, and the feeling everything will be alright."

"It's getting crowded out there in singer-songwriter land, but make room for this guy..." - The Irish Times

"There hasn't been a debut album from an Irish singer/songwriter this impressive since O" - Totally Dublin

"an edgy cut above the introspective herd... consistently excellent... Don't let this one pass you by." - Magill Magazine

You can buy the album physically from here.

Some free MP3s available if you head down in this direction.

We're also on YouTube Channel , Facebook Page , Twitter , Wordpress Blog and Last FM .

Ah yeah man I dunno, we tried it once but it doesn't stay on when you sweat that much. Oh by the way you left your pack o strings and plastic head winder on the stage so I gave them to Adam to give to you if you're at the Whelans show. Loved the set last night, haven't had the chance to listen to the album yet but I'm looking forward to it! All the best
