One Week of Days

‘One Week of Days’ are husband and wife duo Bob and Jan Murphy. They are based in Kilkenny, Ireland.

Bob and Jan are both prolific songwriters and they have worked together on various musical projects, most notably ‘Kaydee’ (1994-1997)

Bob
and Jan met in 1988 when they were in a school musical together. It
wasn’t long however before they ended up performing in the same group in
their home town, Kilkenny. One group followed another until the group
they were in at the time ‘Kaydee’ ended up signing a recording contract
with EMI records in 1994.

They
finished up with ‘Kaydee’ in 1997 and Bob went on to record some solo
material while Jan took a break from writing and recording.

In
April 2000 they got married and later the same year they decided to
work together again on a new project “One Week of Days” ... a play on
the phrase “One Week of Years” from the book of Daniel.

“One
Week of Days” is primarily focused around recording and features the
singing songwriting and production of both, with Bob recording and
providing the instrumentation.

In early 2002 One Week of Days released their first album ...  ‘Who you really Are’
was recorded in their home studio in Kilkenny city. The album 
contained 11 tracks. Songwriting is a dominant element and the music is
rock based with elements of pop, folk, electronica, jazz and roots. The
title track was written by Jan and portrays a God full of grace and
love, distinct from many modern religious notions of God.

“... a shining reviving exuberant God in my heart,

I’ll tell everybody who you really are.”

Between 2003 and 2008 Bob and Jan have played mainly as a 2 piece, but occasionally as a four piece.

Since then some singles have been released: Bad History in September 2008, You Light Up My Day in December 2009, Shepherd King in May 2010 and "A Word to Satisfy" in June 2014.
