Singer & writer Patrick Byrne originally from Glasgow spent his years at university (Newcastle College of Music) forming & playing in bands meeting like-minds that would later come together in Byrne. It was also at this time that Patrick realized that the music he wanted to make couldn't be taught so he moved to London & the east-end. It was here that the story in earnest began. In a basement in Shoreditch slowly but surely the members of Byrne fell into place. With Mark Neary.
