The band started off as 'Slainte'
cutting their teeth on the Irish scene in London,
England. They played the circuit for a few
years with various friends and line ups until
they finally settled on the one we see today.
The band proved to be a popular one on the London Irish scene and were voted
by the readers of The Irish World newspaper for the award of 'Best Band on
London Circuit 2006'. The lads picked up the award in at a big ceremony in
Feb and after their performance on the night were described as "a breath
of fresh air for Irish music." They were never content to just be a local
band playing other people's music and harboured ambitions of reaching a world-wide
audience.
They began to pool their lyrics and bits and pieces of songs that had been
written over the years, they also wrote brand new songs (including 3 songs
especially for Mike O'Dea's Boston-Irish movie 'Townies') and the results suprised
even the band members themselves. They hit the studio and within a few weeks
had recorded an album which exceeded even their own expectations. They decided
a name change was necessary due to there being a vast number of bands worldwide
named 'Slainte', it had served them well on the London scene but the new music
deserved a new name. 'The BibleCodeSundays'
name came about from regular sunday gigs and drink-fuelled conversations about
conspiracy theories etc. These weekly gigs/sessions became known as 'BibleCode
Sundays'.
The mix of traditional Irish
and modern music forms the unique sound which
is 'The BibleCodeSundays',
it speaks from the hearts of the band members
and, they hope, for the Irish communities all
over the world.
"We hope this music
finds the people who inspired it"
