An amazing band that simply didn't make it big, for whatever reason. But it wasn't for the lack of talent. I'm surprised they weren't mentioned in Terry Murphy's book as they had their own following and used to pack out the Bridge House on a very regular basis. Each of the lads were accomplished musicians and were as good, if not better, than a number of the bands mentioned in Terry's book. Wonderful gigs back in the day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759038217743809888noreply@blogger.com
