Shades of McMurrough go back to about 1970, I remember a fine 3-piece, with Paul Kavanagh playing the only lute I have seen in a folk band, it really stood out & made them look special. I met them at the Letterkenny Folk Festival, where I went to support friends The Somertons, a Dublin 3-piece. I think the Shades had won Letterkenny the previous year and were the host band, I recall them singing CSNY stuff, lovely close harmonies.
