The change of name came about due to Drew"s unhappiness with the name, coinciding with the fact that Kelly was reading Dubliners by James Joyce at the time.

It reached #8 in the singles charts and appears on this 25 Years Collection. Christy Moore also features on the CD singing a tribute to Luke Kelly. 29 tracks. 2010.
