Bio:

Often compared to Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention and mistakenly so, for Mushroom were a rock band employing folk and trad influences and are more properly seen as part of the "celtic rock" wave of the mid-70s in Ireland, arguably launched by Horslips debut single "Johnny's Wedding", a big hit in Ireland in 1972, and subsequent debut album "Happy To Meet...Sorry To Part" (1973) which was very influential in Ireland.

Managed by Brian Molloy.

Joe O'Donnell was a member of the band until he left to join East Of Eden in 1973. His replacement was Pat Collins who is listed in the lineup on the album though Joe plays on it and the singles.

Colm Lynch has lived in Denmark since 1975 where he's released 4 solo CDs.

Aonghus McAnally later in the Starband and released a solo single (more than one?). Later co-presented Anything Goes on Saturday morning RTE. Later formed a highly successful TV production company which seemed to corner the "youth" TV market in the UK for several years (Zig & Zag, etc).

A deal for a UK release was sought but with no luck.
The 24"x17" colour poster is the hardest item to find in good condition.
Hawk also issued the album on 8-track and cassete. Anyone have a copy of either?
The Canadian LP reverses the original sides.
The Little Wing of Refugees deluxe reissue from 1992 is a limited edition digitally remastered from original master tapes LP housed in new artwork that comes with a bonus single (LW 2028) containing the four single-only tracks. The CD edition in Little Wing's "Replay Series" makes no secret of the labels contempt for the CD format! It features one of their infamous 'wallpaper' sleeves and contains no bonus tracks.
Akarma added the four single tracks to the running order of the original LP without compromising noticeably on sound quality.
Neither CD issue contains the bonus tracks. The Radioactive CD contains entirely misleading information about the band.
