Late 80s/early 90s pre-Glee Club (later on Setanta and 4AD). c1988 active in
Galway with vocalist Joanne, described as "mundane Waterboys influenced country
rock", though others reckon that's unfair. The Swinging Swine plays a roots
music which was Lumped in with the raggle taggle bunch because of the hippy
image, the fiddle and the all acoustic sound. Drummer was Sean Ryan (Crime of
Passion, Candyshop, Echoes of Pink Whispers, Honey Thieves, Peach). Also

Mountain" is a Nick Drake cover and was included on the "Brittle Days" tribute
