Hailing from Dublin this award winning multi-instrumental duo write original songs that are contemporary and eclectic with a hint of Irish. Dave and Trish Long have collaborated as songwriters since they joined forces in Ireland back in 1984. With so many years working together musically their songwriting skills have combined to such an extent that their compositions are seamless and none can tell one's writing from the other. Audiences at live shows have commented on how in tune they are with each other - it has to be seen to be believed. This rare unity comes across in their recordings and can be noted in particular with the harmonious blending of their vocals.
Over the years their music has become subtly different, a marriage of sounds and influences between the Northern and the Southern hemispheres 'the mist meeting the haze'. The resulting music has light, bright tones intertwined with the rich, earthy moodiness of their Celtic sound. Lyrics stretch from uplifting songs with themes of hope and love to songs that draw awareness to what is happening in the world in which we live. The instrumentation includes vocals, flageolet, guitar, sax, flute, recorder and sequencing
Sahara's success has been soaring internationally since the release of their 'Vision' and 'Sahara Live @ The Malthouse' CDs which have both received critical acclaim and a rating of three and a half stars in major publications. Over the last few years Sahara has been on tour bringing their now recognizable and unique sound around Australia. The last CD released by Sahara 'There is this place I go' has been very well received globally.
Trish and Dave returned to the studio in 2012 to re-record a CD of songs that had been inspired while on tour around Australia and which had proven to be very popular with both the media and audiences. This CD is called 'A New Beginning' and some of the songs on this CD have been influenced by the major global events of recent years which have been confronting and thought provoking. However we remain forever hopeful; whenever there is change there is a chance for a new beginning.
Currently Sahara are mixing their sixth album of ten more original tracks which is due for release this year!
Sample quotes for latest release 'A New Beginning':
"Sahara brings A New Beginning to the world...The album begins with the über-catchy “Right the Wrongs” (This reviewer’s children were singing the chorus for hours after hearing the song once). The title track perfectly embodies the positive vibe that the album puts out. “Jason Hohl 67 Music USA Full Review “I have to say check this album out - it’s a stunner! It’s called ‘A New Beginning’ ” Mark William’s ‘New Traditions’ The Bridge 102.5 UK "They've got a fantastic album....great voices aren't they....fantastic!" 'The Irish Connection with John Lowry' WFM UK “Their years performing on stage and recording the way they want their albums to sound, ripened and made their music intoxicating like fine wine” The Celtic Music Fan full review “Great music” John Sweeney Owner Social Network Radio Station USA Right The Wrongs “Beautiful - Like it” Tom Lambert 'The Independent Music Show' UK "Your music is beautiful" Mae 'Music Uncovered' KLAV 1230 Las Vegas

What people have said....
“Sahara are a tight duo originally from Dublin and now based in Australia. Their mellow, Celtic sound is chilled and atmospheric.” Nick Thomas Audio Engineer and Radio Presenter on Radio Jackie
“They’re really really good, you’re going to like them” Mark Williams ‘The Bridge’ 102.5FM
“One of the great success stories of the Australian music scene…with musicianship that has been distilled by time and space, you are an audience to the best duo in this music category. Dave Long has one of the rare gorgeous male vocals in the tradition of Sting and Steve Winwood… I’m sure no one would question Trish long’s expertise with the sax and other instruments apart from the fact that she has a voice that could rival Celine Dion’s yet has the Irish gorgeousness” The Celtic Music Fan
“Sahara have a specialty that few artists have, and is to capture the listener being practically overwhelmed by a beautiful set of emotions…if you seek quality, professionalism, experience…all this has a name…Sahara” Angelo Petruzzi CEO Smooth Jazz Radio Channel

For details please view the advertisement on this page. We are happy to say that feedback received so far has been extremly positive!
Some of Sahara’s exciting success stories to date….
*Sahara makes music history with Two No.1 Hits on the First Internet Charts. 'Make My Day' was voted No.1 for 4 consecutive weeks followed by 'Ordinary Day' both tracks off the Sahara 'Vision' CD. Soundclick was an international music chart where people could vote for their favourite acts thus making Sahara's No.1's a 'people's choice' award. Today we are now more familiar with this kind of voting system due to televised shows like 'X Factor' etc. Soundclick at the time was endorsed by the likes of CNN, The New York City Times and many more news sites across the U.S.A and Europe. Dave and Trish were dubbed 'Cyber Stars' when interviewed for the ABC TV Evening News regarding this success.
*Sahara composed the original music for an ABC TV Australian Story documentary 'A Track Winding Back' which received the United Nations Media Peace Award 1999.
*Due to popular demand the video of the 'Sahara Live @ The Malthouse' concert was webcast on numerous occasions on the New York based CelticTV website. This resulted in Sahara releasing part of the soundtrack on CD which is available on iTunes, Amazon etc.
