About The McPeake Family
The McPeake family of Belfast were one of the few Irish pre-ballad boom groups. That they were better-known abroad than at home is illustrated by a story told about a conversation between Bob Dylan and Bono of U2 in 1984. The legendary singer asked what Bono thought of the McPeakes. The Dublin-born Bono had never heard of them. The group was built up around the grandfather, Francis I, who had studied pipes under the blind Galway piper John Reilly.
