In a statement on their website Fred sez:
“We have enjoyed our time making music together immensely but simply it’s now time for us to move on. We would like to thank all our fans, friends, families who have supported us over the years. We also offer a big thank you to all of the artists who we have had the pleasure of sharing stages with and the all of the venues who continue to promote live music.”

Their final gig will be in The Pavilion in Cork, on December 28, when they’ll attempt to have all present and previous band members on stage together.
