Subject: RE: What happened to After Hours.- Irish Band
The band, more usually known as Afterhours (named after a Bothy Band LP), recorded three albums. The eponymous first was cassette only, and the latter two were for Bulmer's Celtic Music label ('Hung Up and Dry' from 1992 and 'Up to Here' two years' later).

The band's singer, Alan Burke, has enjoyed quite a successful solo career and has his own Facebook page. There's more information about him here - Alan Burke - and there's a Youtube playlist here - AB and Afterhours.

Kevin Rowsome, who played uilleann pipes on 'Hung Up and Dry', has recorded a couple of fine solo albums, 'The Rowsome Tradition' and 'Cuisle Cheol na bPíob' - Kevin Rowsome.

Tómas Lynch, the piper on 'Up to Here', was well known on the London Irish music scene and released a solo album in 1993 - The Crux of the Catalogue.
