PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY
Products And/Or Services :
Sahara is the award winning singer/songwriter team Trish and Dave Long who met in their hometown Dublin in the eighties before migrating to Australia where they have toured extensively performing to sell out audiences. Before leaving Ireland, Dave and Trish had performed in many of Dublin’s renowned music venues under the band name 'Interfusion'. The first song they co-wrote ‘Vision of Glory’ received airplay on RTE radio which led on to a live performance of another original song ‘Running Out’ on the RTE ‘Davis at Large’ TV show. Somehow this landed them in an episode of the TV mini series ‘Inside’ acting as a couple of musicians!
Their contemporary, eclectic songs brought swift success after arrival to Australia and a change of name to 'Sahara'. The release of Sahara’s debut CD ‘Vision’ brought Sahara global attention after their song ‘Make My Day’ shot to No.1 on the SoundClick first internet music charts. Staying at No.1 for four weeks landed Sahara an interview on the ABC TV evening news Australia wide.
More songs from this album made various charts around the world which led to Sahara recording a video of their concert at the Malthouse Theatre Melbourne. Due to it’s popularity this video was webcast on several occasions from the Celtic TV New York website resulting in Sahara releasing a live album ‘Sahara live at the Malthouse’ taken from the video soundtrack. These albums received critical acclaim and high ratings in some of Australia’s major publications.
Sahara composed an original soundtrack for an episode of the ABC Australian Story documentary series which received the United Nations Media Award. Sahara’s music was also featured in an international travel campaign promoting Ireland to Mexico. Sahara has spent years on tour performing in theatres, art centres, festivals, hotels and clubs around Australia as well as major private functions. Sahara has also performed ‘live to air’ on the ABC radio network, commercial and community radio stations, as well as appearing on several TV shows. Sahara has just released their latest studio recording ‘There is this place I go’ which is receiving great reviews and increasing airplay.
Sahara is: Dave Long: vocals, guitar, keyboards & sequencing. Trish Long: vocals, saxes, flute, flageolet, recorder & sequencing.
