The BibleCode Sundays are a London
-based celtic rock
band. Their music is a lively mixture of traditional Irish folk music
and contemporary rock music
The band started their recording career under the band name 'Slainte' in 2006 with an album of traditional Irish songs. The name of that particular album was 'BibleCodeSundays' (in reference to drink fueled conspiracy theory conversations regularly held after Sunday gigs)and later to be the name of the band.
The success of their first recording - primarily of cover songs - gave the band confidence to go back to the studio to record original material.
'Ghosts of our past' was recorded in 2007 in Panic studios Park Royal.
Almost directly after the completion of Ghosts of our past, the band returned to the studio to record 'Boots or no Boots' in 2008.
The success of both albums culminated in the band being booked to play many prestigious gigs and events including the Glastonbury festival, Celtic Park in Glasgow to play before Glasgow Celtic F.C. matches and being the guest band on 'Sky Sports Soccer Saturday Christmas Special',a spoof of the X factor programme called the 'Y in factor' in 2007. The band have also supported the Boston band 'The Dropkick Murphy's' on their homecoming tour in Boston on St. Patricks day 2009. The band supported Van Morrison
