• [About]

DUAL = Paul Fitzpatrick / Roddy McMahon.


We became friends in the early 90’s. After playing in a number of bands together, our musical paths diverged. But now we’re back.

We’re DUAL, we’re here, we’re so happy to be making music again, and we are ready to fukcin’ party. Let’s do this!
