A Bit Of History

.."If Rob Halligan gets the recognition he so richly deserves, I advise to book him now, because I predict that very shortly, this extremely talented singer songwriter is going to become very 'big-time'!!" Chris Tobin - Covfolk

Rob Halligan combines edgy acoustic rock with soulful ballads that will both challenge you and bring you hope with songs born from first hand experience of drug and AIDS victims as well as being directly effected by the terrorist events of September 11th 2001 in which his father was killed.
Robs musical influences are as diverse as John Mayer, Jeff Buckley, Billy Bragg and the Clash and he has gigged across the UK in venues from local cafes, rock bars and folk clubs to festivals and venues with crowds up to 3000 people.
He has also written articles for the Independent newspaper and the Christian Herald and appeared on local and national television and radio.

Originaly from Brighton on the South Coast of England, Rob moved up to the midlands when he was 16.
"I'd played in bands at school and we'd gigged around a bit. I biggest moment was playing at the Pavilion Hall in Worthing for a variety event. We were a rock band, before us was an opera singer and after us was a flautist! We weren't asked back!"
But after a successfull Album, a charting independently released single (which also raised over £3000 for charity) and a gruelling two years of constant touring that culminated in Ireland in December 2005, Rob Halligan has built up a fanbase and reputaion as an "... archetypal troubadour whos stand-up acoustic is full of subtle power" (Oxford Nightshift Magazine)
