Bio:
Began life as The First Edition but Kenny Rogers success forced a name change.
Sometiomes billed simply as The Editions.
Organist Andy Dunne wrote both sides of the band's Love Affair style single,
which features two session players on trumpet.
He also had a song in the National Song Contest in 1968 titled "Look For Love", which was sung by Roly Daniels.
Andy Dunne died in 1986.
Eamonn Tierney played bass at some point. Another onetime member Ronnie Duff
was electrocuted onstage in Dublin in 1968.
Mitch Mahon also in The Fugitives.
Peter Carr recalls playing in a revamped lineup of the Editions, long after all the
original members had left apart from Andy Dunne. The lineup was Andy Dunne (keyboards),
John Farrell (vocals)
(ex The Movement,
Dreams,
Freedom,
The Groundhogs)
Eric Bell (guitar) (Dreams and
Thin Lizzy),
Peter Carr (drums) (ex Some People (1967-69),
Purple Pussycat (1969) and
Alice (1970))
plus baritone sax player and a bassist.
Peter Carr remembers playing a regular Saturday night gig at UCD and supporting
The Tremeloes on their Irish tour. It's not clear when this could have happened.
Peter Carr emigrated to Australia in 1974, so it must have occurred during 1972-73.
Eric Bell's involvement rules out any date earlier than 1973. If Eric is excluded, it
could have happened in 1972 and indeed The Tremeloes did tour Ireland in August
that year. If anyone knows the answer, please get in touch.
