HERE COMES THE LANDED GENTRY

Having formed in the Autumn of 2007 by brothers Rion and Gavin McCartney, long time family friend David Doherty and local werewolf John Keaveney – HCTLG have grown in strength from day one. Having played some great gigs things took a real leap forwards following the induction of members Marty Doherty on vocals in Feb ’08 and Philip ‘Wally’ Wallace on drums the following month due to the departure of Gavin (Who still remains an integral part of the bands songwriting process). This shift meant a change in sound, attitude and style!
