Finn mac Cuil
Finn mac Cuil were Madelaine Taylor, Tony Ireland,
John Wilson and Nick Keir. Tony Ireland went on to a solo
career which produced some great music but with unspectacular success (see
below). Nick Keir later joined The McCalmans, with whom he still performs.
Any further information would be gratefully received
(email me).
