Lineup:

Bio:

I know very little about this band. They were led by Michael Kennedy who was from Arklow. His girlfriend was Maxi (of Maxi, Dick & Twink). He died tragically of throat cancer in 1970.

John Kenny was the only constant through the band's many lineup changes. His name was recorded incorrectly somewhere as Kohn Kenny, and this misprint has been repeated over the years. Other members of the band have included Matt Jenkinson (briefly) and (probably) Declan Sinnott.

Their first single was released in 1969. It's sunshine pop psych and is now a minor collectable. The second came out three years later and has almost nothing to do with the earlier band. Credited to Liam Lynch with Homers Knods, it's run-of-the-mill traditional folk and is pretty forgettable. Liam Lynch was the former singer of Dublin folk act The Dragoons.

"Mr.Rainbow" is comped on Ripples Vol.7: Rainbows (Sequel Records - NEMCD431 - UK - 2000).
