From: Cork
Active: 1975-
Style: Rock
Lineup:
- George Drummond - drums
Bio:
Cork showband active from the early 70s onwards. There is little known about the band.
Besides George Drummond, the lineup may have included Don Murphy & Richard Lucy.
Their early, pre 1980 singles on Ruby are showband pop and are of little
interest. After 1980 they veered into tougher, hard rock-ish material and these singles
are sometimes hyped as NWOBHM, especially "I'm A Headbanger" and "Caught In A Trap".
They are certainly worth hearing.
