Bio:

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 included Eamonn Dowd, ex New Testament. One track on the EP "Voice From A Mountain" is a Nick Drake cover and was included on the "Brittle Days" tribute album. More info about this band needed.
