Hal Biography
The showcase gig has long adhered to certain rules. More often that not, it takes place in a London venue. A&R men will hog the bar. Free beer will be imbibed. Unless, of course, your name is Hal, the Irish quartet – brothers Dave and Paul Allen (vocals/guitar and vocals/bass respectively), Stephen O'Brien (keyboards) and Steve Hogan (drums) – whose showcase in 2002 was held in Kiliney, Dublin at the siblings' dad's house. In a cramped room. On the beach.
