Described as "Power Acoustic" by the Irish Independent. An attitude of exploration, demonstrated by a childhood spent "digging up stuff in the backyard", and early years playing in garage punk bands around Sydney Australia, led to a move to Ireland where songs became the obsession. After writing and developing his craft amongst the heavily populated singer-songwriter scene in Dublin, Rory started quietly slipping off to mainland Europe, touring solo acoustic, refining and expanding his repertoire with literally hundreds of gigs and continues to tour regularly both in Australia and Ireland. Described by one journalist as "a strength that will move and inspire you with jolts of positive energy", 1998 saw the UK-only release of his debut album and first single 'NOWHERE SOMEWHERE ANYWHERE', recorded in Dublin. Rory's second album, 'BLOOD, BONES & SOUL', was also recorded in Dublin, with Bill Shanley and Ciaran Byrnes sharing production duties at 'The Cauldron Studios'. An uplifting and energised set of songs featuring the metaphysical imagery of 'SHED MY SKIN' and the invigorating 'RISE ABOVE'. The Irish Times observed that his “relentlessly upbeat folk-rock courses with positive thinking and surges with vigorous musicality....Faithfield is invigorating and inspiring...". In 2007, Rory Faithfield returns to the Cauldron Studios for the recording of his third album 'CIRCLE DANCE'. A fundamentally solo acoustic project that conveys the true energy of his live shows. The intriguing 'CLONARD' opens the album, which, as explained on Rory's My Space Blog, was a gift delivered fully formed in a dream where the Irish folk legend, Christy Moore, was witnessed entertaining a sing-along crowd in a backstreet pub. The mystery and profound intent of these songs unfolds as the album progresses and will prove to be Rory's most successful project to date. More info at: www.faithfield.com |

Irish Release Date: March 7th 2003
The
long overdue second album, BLOOD, BONES & SOUL, is once again recorded
in Dublin, with Bill Shanley and Ciaran Byrnes sharing production duties
at
'The Cauldron Studios'. A mix of contemporary trip-hop and retro rock
inspired grooves drive this new set of songs where the overall feel is
uplifting and energetic. Kicking off with the metaphysical imagery of
SHED
MY SKIN, the opening statement is simplified with track two and first
single
RISE ABOVE. A soaring blast of a chorus, rooted in punk/pop, opens the
gates
to more tales of empowerment, where the creation of future is dependent
on
the state of mind of the architect. Onwards with the Gospel imbued title
track, BLOOD, BONES & SOUL, a reckless unstoppable, ENDLESS, the carefree
trip-hop of ARMS OF GRACE, and through to the final Bob Dylan flavoured
proclamation, 'The truth is only a WHISPER AWAY'.....
