The Dolldrums, hailing from Navan, Co. Meath, are a four-piece rock outfit with a keen focus on melody and lyrics. The group was born when the band’s frontmen and songwriting partnership returned from a hedonistic summer of excess on a Grecian Isle. The two in question are Paul Clarke and Cormac ‘Beef’ O’ Keeffe. The pair returned weary yet their thirst for music remained unquenchable. They recruited gifted drummer Baz Fitzgerald, (nephew of legendary guitarist Jimi Smith), with whom Beef had played in several bands prior to his departure to Greece. More recently bassist Paddy Smyth has joined The Dolldrums, and despite a broken bone here and a ruptured appendix there, the Dolldrums have hit the ground running. Evolution they say was the creation of no man but a band with a plan.
