- Taken from music blog 3hive:
"Essentially, Bill Coleman is a finger-picking-guitar-style singer-songwriter from Cork, Ireland. He released his debut album I'll Tear My Own Walls Down in February '07, and has some free downloads on his website. I go to his live show every chance I get.
The guy knows how to put on a show, especially when he has his full band (at times, reviewers try to compare his live shows to The Flaming Lips, for the sheer zanyness, and positive, uplifting vibes to come from the music and the persona of Bill himself.
Some songs may dredge you through the darkest areas of the mind at times, but somehow, Bill always manages to find some light at the end. His quiet/sad songs are simply sublime and majestic. His upbeat songs leave you with a smile on your face, and the feeling everything will be alright."
"There hasn't been a debut album from an Irish singer-songwriter this impressive since Damien Rices' 'O'" Totally Dublin

Ready, Steady, Gig !
Ah hello hello, lovely to see you all again. You're looking well !*
*Obviously I have no way of knowing but I BET you ARE looking well
There's a few things happening in Colemanland at the moment that I'd like to give you all the old heads up on. Seeing as I've been very lax of late with the web stuff (I promise we've been busy on new songs and recordings and noodlings of a creative nature) it seemed time that I made a least an effort at turning over a new leaf. So here we go !
GIGS:
20 Sep 2008 20:00 The Tivoli Theatre (Solo) Dublin
Sophie's Choice Charity Gig - more on that below
23 Sep 2008 21:00 The Crane Lane Theatre (Solo) Cork
Double header with Colm Lynch. I know he's a Dub but don't hold that against him in the People's Republic !
24 Sep 2008 21:00 The Articulate Sessions (Solo) Limerick
In Bakers Bar/Venue in Limerick
25 Sep 2008 17:00 Freedom (Amnesty) Cafe (Solo) Galway

14 Oct 2008 21:00 Ruby Sessions (Solo) Dublin
NEW SONGS:
At this stage there's quite a few newer songs in the set though of course I will still be playing some old favourites as well ! So do try and make a gig if it's convenient to your home place. We're still writing and arranging and planning the recordings for album number 2 and hopefully these will take shape sometime in the not too distant future.
PASSIONFRUIT GIG MP3s AND VIDEOS:
In the meantime, for those of you who love your live gigs, we are soon going to have some mp3s for you. Back in July of this year I played a gig in a lovely little theatre in Athlone called the Passionfruit. Begging, borrowing, stealing we managed to put together enough recording equipment and cameras to document the gig almost in it's entirety. We're currently finishing off editing some little videos for Youtube, so once there done I'll make you aware of their existence.
