Once again Brendan returned home to Limerick where he joined forces with former band mate, Billy Brosnan, They formed a four piece called Wee Four , which played around Limerick and the surrounding countryside, but as a four piece didn't really play the showband circuit.

Brendan got the urge to hit the road" again and in the late 70's he teamed up with Tommy Drennan and his All Star band.

Just a little bit about me !!!
Brendan cut his teeth as a teenage musician during the heyday of the Irish Showband scene and it wouldn't be long before he joined their ranks. Starting out locally, he first played the pubs of Limerick and the surrounding countryside with other young hopefuls

Within a few years, Brendan was bitten by the traveling bug  and headed off to London, where he joined the Donnie Walsh Orchestra. The band was the resident group at The Oranmore, a popular Irish Club in the London suburb of Balham.

While in London Brendan was offered a spot with The Express Showband from Dublin playing a program which consisted of material from groups such as the American Drifters, the best of the Top 20 pop charts, throwing in some Herb Alpert and Dixieland jazz for good measure.
