Peter Cunnah (born on 30 August 1966, in Derry, Northern Ireland) is best known as lead singer and song writer with 1990s dance-pop duo D:Ream (alongside DJ Al Mackenzie). Prior to forming D:Ream, he was lead guitarist with Belfast based band Tie The Boy who were briefly signed to the Mother Records record label owned by U2. When that deal foundered soon after the band's move from Belfast to London, in-fighting amongst the members of that band led rapidly to its split. Finding himself in the heart of London's clubland, Cunnah, already accomplished as a producer, originally conceived D:Ream as a way of re-using songs from his previous band. With little by way of support in London, he teamed up with DJ Al Mackenzie on a series of dance records by a 'faceless' dance act which would be fronted live and on-record by a female diva, leaving Cunnah free to concentrate on songwriting and production and Mackenzie free to concentrate on building a DJ reputation.

Dana Rosemary Scallon is better known as Dana, Irish singer and former politician. She was born Rosemary Brown on 30 August 1951 in London, England and raised in Derry, Northern Ireland. Her career began when, as an A-level student, she won the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest with "All Kinds of Everything", a subsequent worldwide hit and million-seller. Over thirty singles and thirty albums later, Dana's career continues, now also as a writer and performer of Catholic music – like "The Rosary" album, another worldwide hit and million-seller.

Phil Coulter (born 19 February 1942) is a Northern Irish songwriter, pianist and music producer, arranger, and director. With his writing partner Bill Martin he penned numerous hit songs for a variety of popular singers in the 1960s and 1970s, and in the 1980s scored major successes performing his own material. He continues to be a popular performer in his native country and around the world.One of Coulter's most popular songs, "The Town I Loved So Well", deals with the embattled city of his youth, filled with "that damned barbed wire" during The Troubles. Another of his compositions, "Scorn Not His Simplicity", pleads for tolerance and understanding of his son, who was born with Down's syndrome. Coulter's father, also called Phil, encouraged music in the house. He played the fiddle whilst his wife played the upright piano — a Challen piano, which the son recalls was "the most important piece of furniture in the house".

Born Joseph McLaughlin, on March 23 in 1917 in Creggan Terrace, Derry, Northern Ireland. He was the son of a butcher and cattle dealer, and one of nine children. He sang in local churches in the Bogside at the age of seven, and as a teenager, added two years to his age in order to enlist in the Irish Guards. Later he served abroad with the Palestine Police before returning to Ireland in the late 30s to join the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Nicknamed The Singing Bobby he became a local celebrity in the 40s and then toured the UK variety circuit. In the following year he played the first of 19 seasons at the popular northern seaside resort of Blackpool.

The Undertones drew inspiration from Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols, and the Ramones. They began practising and playing cover versions of punk rock songs at schools and scout huts under the name "The Hot Rods". Some of the band members were unhappy with the name because there was already another music act with that name. The name The Undertones was chosen by one of the band members who discovered the word in a history book. By 1977 the band were performing their own three-chord pop punk material, and in 1978 they released their debut four-song EP "Teenage Kicks" on Belfast's Good Vibrations record label. The EP became a hit with support from BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who considered the title song his all-time favourite. The song "Teenage Kicks" has been covered by many acts.

Fighting With Wire emerged from the ever creative Northern Ireland music scene in 2003, the brainchild of guitarist Cahir O’Doherty (Jetplane Landing / Clearshot) and drummer Craig McKean (Clearshot). An idealistic bunch, they’ve since done what rock bands are meant to do: they wrote a bunch of songs, and took to the road. They are confrontational, agitated and bitter, their full-on, riff driven songs a (successful) self proclaimed attack against a seething mass of generic and unoriginal rock and indie bands

Phil Coulter sings from the heart - one of the truly definitive songs about life in Derry in the mid 20th century - shirt factory horns, walking dogs, pick-up bands, sad to leave it all behind me, sad to see how a town could be brought to its knees - they saw it through without complaining
