In early 1967 guitarist Henry McCullough (formerly of The Sky Rockets Showband and Gene & The Gents) from Portstewart in Northern Ireland made his way to Belfast where he teamed up with bassist Chris Stewart (born Eric Christopher Stuart), singer Ernie Graham and drummer Davy Lutton (born William David Lutton) to form the psychedelic outfit The People.

  • Eire Apparent was a band from Northern Ireland. In early 1967 guitarist Henry McCullough (formerly of The Sky Rockets Showband and Gene & The Gents) from Portstewart in Northern Ireland made his way to Belfast where he teamed up with bassist Chris Stewart (born Eric Christopher Stuart), singer Ernie Graham and drummer Davy Lutton (born William David Lutton) to form the psychedelic outfit The People. Later that year the band moved to London and were signed by ex-Animal Chas Chandler for Track Records who changed the band's name to "Eire Apparent". Despite only having released one single, Chandler sent them on tour with headliners Jimi Hendrix Experience, Soft Machine and The Animals. Things went quite well during 1968 until, when in Canada, McCullough was sent back to Ireland due to visa problems, so Mick Cox took his place in the band. The new Eire Apparent cut the album Sunrise in 1969 with Jimi Hendrix producing, who had already produced for Cat Mother & the All Night Newsboys before with their album The Street Giveth and the Street Taketh Away released in 1969. Jimi had tried to combine traces of Rock, Pop and Psychedelia. Several sources claim the existence of a second Eire Apparent album but it never saw the light of day. In May 1970, hardly noticed by the public, the band broke up.
