First we had James and Ian Skelly's thoroughly excellent modern merseybeat outfit The Coral.
Next came the Coral backed Poet and The Dreamer, a diverse and uncategorisable album from the fabulous Neville Skelly ( James and Ian's cousin ).
Now the newest kids on the block are The Sundowners, featuring Alfie and Fiona Skelly, younger siblings of James and Ian.
Don't expect them to sound like big brother(s) though, they largely eschew the Coral's Beatles and La's inspired merseybeat in favor of a breezy folk rock inspired by the likes of Crosby Stills and Nash, The Byrds , Tom Petty and notably Fleetwood Mac.
The full lineup is Niamh Rowe (Vocals/Rhythm guitar), Alfie Skelly (Lead Guitar), Fiona Skelly (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar), Tim Cunnihgham (Bass Guitar) and Jim Sharrack (Drums).

Join their facebook page here to keep an eye on their progress, they're definitely a band to keep an eye on for the future.
