Singer Gavin Friday was born in Dublin in October 1959. He, in his own words, "survived a Christian Brothers education to become a singer, composer and painter". He was the founder member of the legendary avant-garde punk group The Virgin Prunes. His debut exhibition of paintings 'I Didn't Come Up The Liffey in a Bubble' was in 1988.

Since 1985 he has composed and performed with his long time musical partner Maurice Seezer, who was born in Dublin in September 1960. He studied piano, cello and harmony at the Royal Academy of Music and didn't like punk. He went to Trinity College Dublin to study the bible, played piano in bars, conducted the College singers until he met Friday through a mutual friend.

Friday-Seezer albums include 'Each Man Kills the Thing He Loves', 'Adam 'n' Eve' and 'Shag Tobacco'. Film scores include the Golden Globe-nominated 'In America' and 'In the Name of the Father', 'The Boxer', 'Disco Pigs', 'Short Cuts', 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Moulin Rouge'. The duo are currently working on an album of original material.
