The Candyshop were Stephen Robinson (vocals), Dave Dorgan (guitar), Declan Mulligan Mark Byrne (bass) and Sean Ryan (drums). They featured previously in the form of a live rehearsal tape but today we have their 1987 Fanning session recorded on the 12th October of that year. Band picture anyone?
You are such a wonderfool person for undertaking this blog!
The Candyshop indeed – haven’t thought of this lot since I reviewed them (at The Baggot – where else?) for NME, … decades ago. I do believe I even remember the headline: “Smartie people are happy people”
