Setting: The Side Room of an Irish Club on Kilburn High Road, London.

The Play: Five lads in the "Seventies" moved to London to make their fortunes as navies on the building sites. Twenty five years later they meet to wake one of their mates in the side room of a Kilburn pub in London.

The Group: The group was founded in 1995 by a small number of people and we produced our first play on the circuit "Wild Harvest" directed by Patraic McIntyre, one of the founder members. The following year we put on "Red Roses and Petrol". The year later we performed "Poor Beast in the Rain". In 2000 we produced "Philadelphia Here I Come" and in 2001 we performed "Last Apache Reunion" managing only one show due to Foot and Mouth. We have been lucky enough to reach the All-Ireland Finals almost every year and have been very successful on the way picking up many individual and group awards over the years.
