1998 was the year everything began. It started brightly with the first album being recorded and some gigs being done, but tapered off toward the end of the year when Tommy left. Strangely, we never managed to get a shot of the band where everyone involved with the line-up was present at the same time. Ciara hadn't joined when the pic above was taken and the only only time we managed to get a half decent band shot, Tommy had left the premises earlier in the evening. Overall it was a period which promised a lot but ultimately ended with a whimper rather than flourish...the last gig of the year on December 18th being played as a 3-piece after Tommy had departed and Ciara was ill on the day of the gig.
