Bio:
Formed in Derry in 1974 by Andrew and Kevin Monk as Mint Rock.
By 1977 they were the Stardust Showband with lead singer Siobhan Murphy.
They toured dance halls in Ireland and England. After the disaster at the Stardust club in Dublin,
they were advised by management (Tommy Hayden Enterprises) to change their name and
they became The Honey Bunch with the launch of a single
on Drive Records. Siobhan sang the A-side and Andrew Monk sang the B-side (a cover of
the Champagne track). The band split in 1984 when the Troubles made it difficult
to cross the border safely.
