The band's first handout-early 1979. The photo was taken in
front of a bedspread hanging on the wall in Kim and Gerry's dining room. It
coincided with the release of the band's first single, A Love Song, which
actually became their second single because of the unexpected release of
"Stop, Think." |

Early 1979. On February 12, 1979, Kim went to Dublin for her
first professional photo shoot with top photographer Roy Esmonde. The photos
were used for publicity for record releases on Hawk Records, in newspaper
articles, and press releases about the band. They were not actually used as
handouts though. |

 |
Christmas, 1979. The band decided to create a special
handout for the Holidays. Still using the same old photo, they designed the
card around Gerry's favorite comic strip. |

 |
Fall, 1980. After a trip to Roy Esmonde Studios in Dublin on
September 1st, 1980, the band finally had professional photos taken and put
out their best handout. Both color and B&W photos were taken, but for most
bands of the era, color handouts were prohibitively expensive.

Summer, 1981. Although only together for a short time, this
version of the band (including Paul Hamilton on drums) had handouts made.
Paul left the band unexpectedly in December and was replaced by Michael
Gallagher on drums. This was the last black and white handout the band had printed.

 |
1982. After moving to new manager, Paddy
O'Connell, the band had two full color handouts printed with Kim's picture
to go along with the black and white handout of the whole band.

Summer, 1982. Although we never actually
printed a handout with this lineup of the band, this is what it would have
looked like if we had!
