Would this be the Crubeen who played the London Scene in The 80s?
Never knew they recorded though. Lads were from Clare?

That was a terrific album I'm pretty sure they only made one LP. I tried to find it on ebay but i got:
search using crubeen returned 0 results. This keyword has been replaced with cruden.
I hear enough cruden on the radio without buying anymore!
they produced the album themselves (I think in TrendStudios) which was apretty good achievement for a bunch of lads who had never been in a studio before.

Whistle.

If joker looks in again, he might tell us if the album he has with Parting Glass is the Eagles Whistle? I'm pretty certain they only recorded one album and Parting Glass was one of the best tracks on it. Over to you, joker!

Whistle
Ps did Leo O'Kelly take over as house producer with EMI from John Drummond? Or was he working for anyone who booked him?
