The Voice Squad

The Voice Squad are a traditional Irish singing group from Ireland.The members include Gerry Cullen, Phil Callery and Fran McPhail.They have recorded three albums and have toured Ireland, the UK and the US. Though group singing, especially in harmony, is not part of the Irish music tradition, The Voice Squad have a considerable repertoire of Irish traditional songs and have always sung unaccompanied. 'Many's The Foolish Youth, first issued in 1987, was the first record by Fran, Gerry and Phil.Later they became known as The Voice Squad.Their style of singing in harmony does not form part of the Irish singing tradition, but each of the singers had already served his time in our individual tradition before coming together to sing in harmony.' - Frank Harte They have been compared to English family groups of similar style, such as 'The Watersons' and 'The Copper Family'.'It is the union of the distinct tenor voices of Fran and Phil plus the bass of Gerry, along with their own particular arrangements of good songs, that has made them one of the most distinctive unaccompanied singing groups of recent times.'
