two albums on EMI and toured extensively in Ireland, Europe, and America and
appeared on TV several times (including The Late Late Show and The Embankment on
RTE). They scored a minor chart hit in Ireland with a version of Phil Coulters
"Lullaby" in July 1975. Over the years the band has featured several other
musicians including Curly Coyle, Nicky Bryson and Seamus McLaughlin.
