Bio:
Sweet Street (or Sweet Street Sect as one source has it) were a Limerick
band who mixed West Coast sounds with UK psychelia. They covered Jefferson Airplane,
The Byrds ("Eight Miles High"), Tim Rose, Tim Hardin, Cream, Hendrix, Traffic ("Mr. Fantasy"),
Steve Marriott, and so on. There are no known recordings. Sweet Street may also have
been known for a period as Playground (can anyone confirm this?). Joe
O'Donnell also had a short stint as guitarist with another Limerick band
Granny's Intentions.
Sweet Street folded when Joe O'Donnell moved to Dublin to study
at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. He was later in numerous bands including
Mushroom and East of Eden.
Johnny Fean was later in Jeremiah Henry and Horslips.
Eugene Wallace joined Macbeth and later went solo.
