Deke O'Brien: Deke
would go on to play with many of Ireland's great pub and
rock bands including Stepaside. He would remain heavily
involved in the Irish music industry as the founding
director of IMRO. For the last 20 years he has run the
company Adtrax which provides copyright clearance, licensing
and re-record facilities for the film, television,
advertising and gaming industries. |

Bob Seibenberg: Bob
would leave the band and go on to international fame as the
drummer with Supertramp. Since then he has released several
solo albums as well as playing with a wide variety of other
stars including Gary Wright (of Dreamweaver fame), Alan
Simon’s ‘Gaia’ and Ken Scott’s ‘Epik Drums’, and has been
playing with the band Todd Hannigan & The Heavy 29s and
working at Brotheryn Studios. He has also kept recording and
touring for Supertramp with his son Jesse and his old band
mates Rick Davies and John Helliwell, reaching in 2011 the
amazing number of 850 live shows with the band. Bob turned
70 in 2019. |

Ruan O'Lochlainn -
RIP: From what we can tell online
Dublin-born Ruan continued to play music for years including
a stint with Ronnie Lane's band Fat Chance. More
importantly, he would also turn to photography for much of
his life after the Bees. He is credited with taking the
photos for several of Jethro Tull's albums and EP's
including "Life's A Long Song," and "Benefit" along with
many other artist's recordings. He was also the father of
British rock musician Fionn O'Lochlainn. Sadly, Ruan passed
away in May, 1988 in London. . |
