BIOGRAPHY -

Dave Dwyer [sometimes known as bead] is a songwriter from North Dublin with a repertoire of Paul Weller and REM influenced indie folk songs. 

His very first influence was when he received a Greatest Hits tape of The Beatles.  He taught himself a few chords and learned to play Lou Reed and Bob Dylan songs too. 

In the 1990's, he formed two original bands, The Lovebeads (91-92) and The Glamour Kings (92-93). They played the live scene in Dublin City Centre (venues included:The Baggot Inn, The Attic, The DA Club, Whelans and Eamonn Dorans Etc.) for a while but eventually he went solo. In the late 90's, he recorded and released a live original 6 song EP called "Acoustic Boogaloo" on MP3.com under the pseudonym 'bead', he gained some positive attention on the local music scene from record companies, press and radio.     

In 2000, he decided to record a full length album under his own name. It took 4 years to complete, hence the name - 'High Time'. 

On May 29th 2004, he finally released his debut studio album called - "HIGH TIME". It features 10 songs produced by and engineered by Dave McCune (who has several multi-platinum albums to his credit).

The album was immediately launched in Tower Records and to date has sold well. It is also available on-line through this web site and from Road Records, Fade St. Dublin.
