Aodh wrote the songs, drawing on a ready wit, a deep understanding of the (then) current political situation, and a really black sense of humour. Some of them were written to an impossibly tight schedule, particularly during the ÓRÓ TV series. Aodh's background in writing satirical verse, in English and Irish, and his experience of life in the Central Bank of Ireland, fitted him well for the role of the group's author and composer.
Nóra took the raw material and arranged it for voices and instruments. Her musical education fitted her well for this task and some of the arrangements were so tight and elegant that, had they been a pair of jeans, posterity would indeed have been damned. Nóra was the musical director of the group and she was responsible for some really stunning voice and instrumental arrangements.
Dominic was another central banker, also a singer and guitarist, who brought some of Cork's gentle civilisation to this predominantly Dublin group. Dominic eventually returned to the bosom of Cork where he continued his banking activities. Nothing further is known about his musical career to date.
Ken was a dynamo on the guitar and his talking blues were extraordinary. He played with the group for a while after Dominic left. He was also a member of Ty Bach.
Pól took over from Ken just in time to join the ÓRÓ TV experience. He has the distinction of forgetting his lines during a take and causing two other acts to have to repeat their performances. Such was the technology of the times and RTÉ's facilities booking priorities.
