Goodbye Venice

The Hallaran Brothers - simmering as sidemen, these three brothers are ready to extrapolate their varied influences through original songs and instrumentals.  After impressing a full house in The Linenhall Arts Centre they are itching to express their music again outside of the writing process.  Sons of the well-known singer/guitarist Joe Halloran; you might say the fruit didn’t fall far from the tree.  They are currently recording an album, which they say will reach one man’s computer in 2010.  Playing many styles of music, they still maintain a consistent and instantly recognizable sound of their own.  The Band are: Liam Halloran – Vocals/Guitar, Michael Halloran – Electric Bass, Joseph Halloran – Drums/Keyboards.

Supporting Acts from 6pm to 9pm.
