The Band

Ciarán Duffy (Vocals/Keys)

Ciarán founded the band in 1990. Gigged mostly his home county Wicklow and most of Kildare for the first few years. Then decided to spread his wings throughout the country. Gigged abroad for a while came home and from then toured the band extensively making quite a name for After Dark nationwide.

Ciarán's love and experience of the band comes across undoubtfully every night in the atmosphere of the gig and of course the consistency of the dance floor.

1995 RTE search for a star winner. Won recording time with Irish label Ritz records. Released two singles That's my Story and a cover of an old Ricky Nelson song Garden Party did well locally.
