With the pop song You Can Count on Me , the group not only reached fourth place in the competition, but also number 2 in the Irish charts, their greatest success to date.

The band released singles until the mid-1990s, but then with less success.

The band members were the siblings June (vocals), Hugh (electric bass) and Max Cunningham (guitar), Ricky Meyler (keyboards) and Majella Grant (drums).
