Brothers Phil, Peter, & Paul Caffrey have been singing together for most of their lives. Whether at family parties or in the front garden to impress their neighbours in the Holy Cross area of Wallsend, they needed no excuse to sing.

Their professional singing career began when they secured a recording contract with DJM records, the home of Elton John. Their band, 'Arbre', was hailed as Britain’s answer to the Eagles, but after making two critically well received albums and touring with Fairport Convention and Jim Capaldi - amongst others - they went their separate ways.

Fronted by the Caffrey Brothers, Phil, Peter and Paul, who brought great sibling harmonies to the vocals, the band was completed by Roger Askew, lead guitar and keyboards, Tony Davison, Bass and Bill Bissett on drums.
