“The band disbanded in 1995 because, by that time, Tom Sweeney wanted to go solo, and in any case he was living in Ireland, I living in the USA and Jim Sweeney got married to a Canadian girl and settled in Nova Scotia.”

Jimmy Sweeney

Jimmy Sweeney now lives in Nova Scotia and continues to perform and record. However, Jimmy does not (at present) have a website and I have found little information on Jimmy's current activities. He does perform regularly at The Old Triangle Pub in Halifax.

Tom Sweeney

Tom has maintained the busiest touring schedule, “A good part of Tom's year is spent travelling Ireland with his show of songs and stories for children and more and more Irish festivals in North America are featuring his terrific package of a children's concert in the afternoon and his riveting performance of Irish songs and stories in the evening.” Additionally, Tom has been most prolific on the recording front, five albums and one video (DVD) of Irish songs & Poems and six albums of children's songs available on his independent label “Gallows Hill Music”.
