Bio:

The Business was a bluesrock/pubrock band formed in 1981. The early period saw many musicians come and go including ex Stagalee pre Honky Tonk Heroes founding member Errol Walsh (guitar/vocals), Jimmy Faulkner (guitar), Pat Farrell (guitar), James Delaney (keyboards), Tommy Moore (bass), Brian O'Grady (bass, ex High Society) Fran Breen (drums), Dave Gaynor (ex Angel, drums), and Don Baker (vocals/harmonica). Some of these had recorded together in the sessions for Paul Brady's "Hard Station" LP.

The second, more permanent lineup emerged in 1983 which recorded three singles for Bus Records. The lineup on the first two singles is Don Baker (vocals/harmonica), Pat Farrell (guitar/vocals), Dave Murphy (guitar/keyboards), Tommy Moore (bass), Dave White (ex Southpaw, drums). The third single features an altered lineup of Farrell, Moore & White joined by Gerry Hendricks (guitar). These singles are all decent bluesrock efforts.

The band continued in one form or another though two decades and is still around today. They issued some live recordings during the '90s. Some members also appeared in a covers band called Bumper To Bumper.
