Mark Greaney

Mark Greaney comes from a place called Meadow of the Bull in Dublin

City, Ireland. He formed a band when he was 16, it was called JJ72.

He wrote the songs, sang and played guitars and pianos, not all at

once. This band released hit singles from two albums between

2000-2003, the albums went on to sell in excess of 650,000 copies.

During these years JJ72 toured many beautiful and not so beautiful

places around the world. JJ72 toured alone and sometimes with others,

such as Coldplay and U2. The band split in 2006 and Mark decided that

it was time to embark upon the second leg of his journey as a musician

and songwriter, he picked up his violin and then remembered why he had

put it down in the first place, so he spent some time making plans

about making plans and then wrote some new songs on his dusty piano.

He wrote, and continues to write, songs about the golden apples of the sun and the silver apples of the moonand dust, and house spiders. He will

record his debut solo album this year and will play his new songs and

some of his older songs live.
