Biography
Greg McDonald grew up in a Suffolk village close to Bury St Edmunds, where he and school friend Nick Morley formed The Dawn Parade. Also featuring Barney Wade (bass) and Ben Jennings (drums), The Dawn Parade signed to Cambridge-based indie label Repeat Records, toured extensively, and recorded two Peel Session. In 2003 a new line-up of McDonald on guitar and vocals, Jeremy Jones (lead guitar), Mark Sewell (drums,vocals), and Steve McLoughlin (bass) recorded debut album "The Dawn Parade", released on Repeat Records. In August 2006 the band split, McDonald saying, "I wouldn't have missed it for the world and I didn't."
In late 2007 Greg McDonald's first solo outings marked a darker tone and new acoustic direction as he returned to playing live as a solo performer and with singers Catherine McDonald and Emily Jukes and musicians Jeremy Jones, Sam Inglis and Seymour Patrick.
In January 2008 McDonald announced the forthcoming release of his debut solo album.
