Bio:

Described as "hard melodic rock" comparable to The Cars first LP. Despite an early break supporting Horslips on an Irish tour in 1978 they remained relatively unknown. Known as Brown Thomas (also the name of a department store in Dublin at the time) or the Brown Thomas Band, they shortened their name to the B.T.'s in late 1979, sometime after their sole Dandelion Market gig on September 8th.

Joe Savino was ex Max Quad Band. He is now an actor. Shaun Barrett played with band in 1978 but left over "creative dfferences". He later played with Freebird (Hard Rock) and Savanah Strut (Jazz Rock). Declan Connaughton replaced Barry Mulligan in May 1979.

June 1979 tour dates.
