Sounds Like
Sounds like themselves!!! They have their own unique style and way of singing..... Con has a very recognisable voice and together their harmonies are renowned!!
The
Bachelors, originally from Dublin ... outsold The Beatles in 1964 and
1965 .... had two in the Top Five at the same time.
And two
gold discs in 2008?
Con and
..he Bachelors - Touring, touring....and then more touring....when on tour we miss
our families. Con misses Kay, his childhood sweetheart and still his
wife and mother to Carole, Greg, Michael and Phillip.
Dec is
lost without Sandy by his side at all times, his lifetime partner and
best friend always, the kids (no matter how old, they are still kids!)
Victoria, Oliver and Louisa. Home with our families is our
‘Heaven’. and now the Grand Children ... Con has Freddie,
Lydia and Miles and I have Zach, Isabelle [the latest] and Layla ...
hear 'Layla - Layla' on our favourite songs. soon to be released.
'Con and ..he
Bachelors' Concert Tours:
Of course,
when Con and I do our Concert tours we still have to play all the
favourite ‘toons’, but we present them in a unique ‘today’ digital
way...so you hear precisely what we all meant you to hear in the first
place....Make sense?
The great
honours we have thrust upon us. Celebrating the 40th year of The Batley Variety Club [now The Batley Frontier], The USA tour, headlining at Millwall Football Ground
to celebrate the Queen Mum’s 100th. birthday. Starring in the ‘Howard
Keel Golf Classic’ Cabaret with Johnny Mathis and Howard Keel himself!
FOUR standing ovations in twenty minutes!!!!! Appearing at
The Waterfront in Belfast.... The Opera House Blackpool...... the Bournemouth International Centre ... WOW!!
The USA again, Spain .. quite incredible for two old f*rts [sorry Mary!]
Then, Glyndebourne for a massive open air celebration of Dame Vera Lynn's 90th birthday - what an honour?
And what will happen with the success of our 70th. album? "I Believe - The Best of The Bachelors"?
Con and Dec charted again? Beating Rihanna, Madonna? Number 2 in Ireland
and Number 5 in the UK.
The fun we
both have traveling around the World...it’s a doddle ....and we get
paid for it! We get to see exciting places, meet lovely people, sing a
few songs and smile at the Bank Manager. Who could ask for anything
better?
Recording:
At time of
writing, our 74th album just released ... hear some of the
latest tracks on this page "I Believe - The Best of The Bachelors". And our 75th
almost finishing recording and almost ready to go. Did we ever think we would get this far?
And the equipment available today just makes us sound better and better.
