about

Eire Apparent was a band from Northern Ireland. In early 1967 ace-guitarist Henry McCullough (formerly of The Sky Rockets Showband and Gene & The Gents) from Portstewart in Northern Ireland made his way to Belfast where he teamed up with bassist Chris Stewart (born Eric Christopher Stuart), singer Ernie Graham (born Ernest Harold Graham, 14 June 1946, in Belfast) and drummer Dave Lutton (born William David Lutton) to form the psychedelic outfit The People. Later that year the hopeful foursome moved to London and got signed by ex-Animal Chas Chandler for Track Records who changed the band's name into the less familiar "Eire Apparent". With only one single released Chandler sent them on tour with headliners Jimi Hendrix Experience, Soft Machine and The Animals. Things went quite well during 1968 when, in Canada McCullough was sent back to Ireland due to visa problems with Mick Cox taking his place in the band. McCullough joined Sweeney's Men and, later on, became The Grease Band's axeman. In 1973 he enrolled with Paul McCartney and Wings, and these days he is still offering excellent solo albums. The new Eire Apparent cut one album in 1969 with Jimi Hendrix producing, who had already produced for Cat Mother & the All Night Newsboys before with their album The Street Giveth and the Street Taketh Away released in 1969. Jimi had tried to combine traces of Rock, Pop and Psychedelia which seemingly turned out to be quite different from handle even for a guitar genius. Several so
