Kevin Raymond
Was born, raised and still resides in Goulds Newfoundland. And from a young age enjoyed listening to his cousin Billy Dinn, playing accordion tunes. In later years he began showing interest in other artists, such as Foster & Allen, & The Carlton Show Band, these influences can be heard in his own vocal style. When it comes to a live show his stage presence and humor is surely an asset.

Gerard O'Brien
Spent his most of his childhood, living in Bay Bulls Newfoundland. Eventually moving to Kilbride. Still spending each summer at the family cottage, located in Cape Broyle Newfoundland, his father's hometown. This is where Gerard's interest in his Irish roots began, and coming from a musical family, it was only natural that he would pick up singing & playing. His passion for Irish history & culture is truly evident in his music.

Mel Stoyles
Is a St. John's native, a corner boy from Gower st. Comes from a musical family. The fiddle was his first instrument of choice, but he eventually fell in love with the accordion, and being the brother of Art Stoyles (Figgy Duff), it was a smooth transition. But his love for traditional Celtic jigs & reels gave him a style all his own. Moving to Ontario for many years, he never lost touch with his musical influences. Eventually he returned to Newfoundland. And currently resides in Mount Pearl.

Robert Collins
Born and raised in Kilbride, and still lives in the west end of St. John's. He began playing in club bands, and has built up quite a repertoire over the years. With a strong back round, in classic rock, classical & country music. But Roots/Traditional music fit him like a glove, and his musicianship is essential to the unique sound of the band.

Chris Stoyles
Born in Ontario, started playing drums at a very eary age. Played in several rock bands, but being the son of Mel Stoyles the apple does'nt fall very far from the tree. So the transission to roots/traditional music was natural,since he was surrounded by it all the while he was growing up.
