Bio:
Dublin area punk band renamed Drunken Jury about a week
after releasing their only single. The contact address for the label was Dalkey but some sources
claim the band was from Dun Laoghaire -- in fact it was both. The single had a very small pressing
and is almost impossible to find now. Ken Sullivan plays drums on the A side, while a drum machine
was used on the AA side. His brother David 'Sullo' Sullivan joined after the single.
Drunken Jury played at the "Let's Get Serious 2" punk festival held at the TV Club
on the 30 September 1983 featuring the cream of Dublin's punk bands at the
time plus UK headliner Conflict.
According to the scene report in MRR #17, published September 1984, a second EP
was planned.
Another member Gipo (later of Stigmata Martyr, now in the Dubtones) later formed
Raw Hide with Donagh O'Leary.
Donagh O'Leary moved to London where he is now based and has played in various
outfits (Jesse James, Dave Vanians Phantom Chords, The Wild Frontiers, Naz Nomad & The Nightmares,
Tenpole Tudor) and done session work with Marc Almond and Peter Perrett a.o.
Pat Thorpe is currently in the Ultra Montanes.
