Bio:

West Coast style rock band heavily supported by Hot Press. Managed by Derek Nally. The band had a fluid lineup.

Their sole LP was released only in Ireland on CBS Records. It features many guests: Aonghus McAnally (ex Mushroom) (guitar), Jamie Stone (husband of Rosemarie Taylor) (vocals), ex member Gerry O'Beirne (slide guitar), David Radburn (guitar), Eamonn Murray (harp), Gus Curtis (guitar) and Brendan Bonass (pedal steel).

Rosemarie Taylor recorded a solo LP for ID Records the same year. Mark Clinton was later in the Rhythm Kings and released a solo single which featured Terry Bourke. He later managed In Tua Nua.

Founder member Gerry O'Beirne (from Raheny, Dublin) played in a 12-string guitar duo called Hybrid with Erik Visser (presumably the same Erik Visser who formed Flairck) before joining Midnight Well in early 1977.
