A 4 piece band called Minty Squirrel placed a small ad asking for a cahon player, and Geraldo and Bart met and started making simple pub music.

Minty Squirrel sadly are no more following emotional, cultural and artistic differences between the musicians, but Bart and Ger formed My Tin Monkey to continue playing bawdy pub music in small corners of poky little pubs throughout the land for little or no money.

In a curious quirk of Fate, Daisy turned up and started playing the most amazing Irish fiddle and the trio was formed to play proper drinking songs, popular foot-tappers and proper pub music to excited audiences everywhere. The rest (as they say) is history!
