Bio:
Little known but excellent melodic folk pop / light psych quartet from
Drimnagh in Dublin. Comprised of two sisters, Nessa and Kathleen Maguire,
Jacqueline McDarby and Catherine Donnelly. They were managed by an older
Maguire sister.
The album features all four girls singing in harmony accompanied by acoustic guitars
with a perfect late 60s hippy feel.
It's all covers apart from two trad.arr tracks, including The Beatles ("If I Fell"),
Phil Ochs and Leonard Cohen. The arrangements are uniformly strong.
The album was released in both mono and stereo editions.
The quartet performed an Irish language song "Tic Toc" (or "Tic-Tac-A-Toc") in the 1971 national
song contest, finishing third. If a recording exists, it probably
includes orchestral backing as per the rules at the time but it was never released.
All covers apart from A2 and B4 which are trad arr The Coterie.
Produced by M.Allen
Arranged by J.Gunner
