David Geraghty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David "Dave" Geraghty is a Choice Music Prize-nominated [1] multi-instrumentalist with Irish band Bell X1 (piano, guitar, banjo, harmonica). He also has a career as a solo musician.
David released his solo debut album Kill Your Darlings on September 7, 2007 in the Republic of Ireland. In November 2007 he headlined the 2fm 2moro 2our. On January 10, 2008, his debut album earned him a nomination for the Choice Music Prize. In March 2008 he was involved in the Bell X1 tour bus fire outside the hotel where they were staying in Medford, Massachusetts. Himself and Paul Noonan were on board the vehicle at the time and raised the alarm after smelling smoke. [2] Fire fighters were called to the scene shortly after 3.30 a.m. and took 90 minutes to put out the blaze, which started in the bus’ ventilation/air-conditioning unit and caused an estimated $50,000 worth of damage. On Saint Patrick's Day the band appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman [3], a move that led to their Chicago show selling out. [4]
