Whatever happened to...?

Does this happen to you? You become aware of a band, then there they were, gone. Cruinniú, for example- great young band, formed c.2005. Please add your own favourites.

Great band. savage rhythm! they should do a reunion tour, they might get that reunion award at the "irish music award" next year. (they could even change their name to dannan de!)

Nah- I doubt they're into that kind of shaft-your-brother malarky

Nice tunes! And the contrast between the two clips is quite an argument against competitions--they're having a lot of fun in the first clip, and apparently not much in the second one.

Here's my contribution: a Galician band called Xerfa.

p.s. I like the energy, but I think the drum should not be so omnipresent--a good case for "less is more." I'm just sayin'.

In some cases perhaps we should be grateful that a band has gone :-)

Looked at another way, perhaps we should be amazed that so many bands manage to keep going, given all the odds against.
