What a great singer he was. Liam Traynor who played fiddle with the group at one stage passed away last year too. R.I. P.
One nice guy and a gas man. A great friend to many.

Sad to say the singer of this lovely balad died just 2 weeks ago aged just 62. Patsy McEvoy R.I.P. originally from Blessington,Co. Wicklow, Ireland. Remembered by all.

I was sorry to hear about the lead singer. I have always loved this group, but I never knew or heard much about them. With their talent it seems like they should be touring all over the world. It is sad news but thanks for letting us know.
