Biography:

Dacianos are working on two short albums, to be entitled Gratis? and Fables for Another Time. The recordings feature Barry Kavanagh (piano, voices, keyboards, guitars, harmonium, microcassette), Håkon Larsen (glockenspiel, tambourine, handclaps, dictionary, egg, shaker, drum pad, pot lids, water, drums), Marius Kolbenstvedt (metallophone), Marie Kvamme (voice), Ilmar Wilbers (cellos) and Sara Cools Yri (glockenspiel & accordion).

The band first took form in Ireland, resulting in two mini-albums, the mostly-acoustic Mis-showbusiness, released in 2000, and the second album , Hold Music, released in 2002, which went the other direction by utilizing both drum machine and sampler.

Apart from Barry Kavanagh, the Irish musicians in the old days included Darragh O'Grady, who is now in Mexico, Eamon O hAinin, who is now in Australia and John McMahon, who is now a member of Rollers/Sparkers.

Over the next few years Kavanagh was in London, UK , then he moved to Oslo, Norway in 2005. A collection of British and Norwegian musicians played on the CD
In a Weird Chalet 2004-2006.

Dacianos continues in Norway, with the Norwegian and Dutch musicians mentioned above.
