Two of the original members were Tony Callinan who was the singer and guitar player and Paul Roche who played the flute and tin whistles, Maurice Lennon played the fiddle and also sang, Tommy Hayes plays the bodhran and Kieran Hanrahan on four string banjo. The group released their first album in 1978 ''Stockton's Wing'' which consisted of very fast instrumental trad tunes and a few ballads thrown in.

Just before their second album ''Take A Chance'' in 1980 Mike Hannaran replaced Tony Callinan as the lead singer. Steve Cooney joined the band in 1982 playing bass. Their big hit single Beautiful Affair was written by Mike Hanrahan. Tommy Hayes left the group in '83 at which time the band were singing more contempory songs, soon after the group got a drummer , Fran Breen and a keyboard player named Peter Keenan. Between the years of 1984 and '88 the group put out 4 albums and several singles and toured the world. They continue to preform today.
