Irish folk music group formed around 1964 and was first known as ‘The Lucanians’. The members were Martin Keegan, Mick Shanahan (Dixie), Matt Murray and Paul Howlett.

The group later reformed with new members Sammy Hewitt, Peter Phelan and Sean Óg McKenna (a brother of Barney of the Dubliners),
and became ‘The Croppies’.

After some time, Sean Óg McKenna left and Paddy McMahon joined.

The single ‘Dicey Reilly’ got to number 6 in the Co. Galway Top 10.
