Hi Bruce When I joined the Greenbeats in 1962 they were called the Caravelles, and featured John Keogh on piano, Paul Williams on guitar, Brian Lynch on bass, Dessie Bonner on sax and myself on drums.Dessie left in 1963 and we continued as a quartet, until Brian left to complete his studies and was replaced by Peter Barden in, I believe, 1964. I'm nearly certain that Brian played on 'World'. I left in 1965 and the band turned into a Showband. Paul Williams died in a crash on the way to a gig, but the Showband survived until around, I think, 1970 or so. In the early seventies John, Brian and I reunited and, with guitarist Benny Cheevers ( ex Skid Row ) formed Full Circle and did it all again for another 25 years. Benny and I left in 1996, but Brian and John continue to perform as Full Circle.
I hope this helps.

Mog Ahern
