          Saw them at Hydro, Kilkee in mid sixties on two or 
          three occasions. Really distinctive bandwagon. Don Cotter was a great 
          vocalist - did a really good 'Death of a Clown'. They had a single out 
          on Emerald: 'Queen of the Hop' - the old standard, b/w a self penned 
          'If You Change Your Mind' sung by bass player, Alex Steele. I believe 
          Kevin Flynn managed them himself.
