Mary Black and her three brothers (Shay, Michael & Martin) first performed together in the folk clubs of Dublin during the mid-70s. In 1979 they were joined by the youngest member of the family, Frances.
Although the members of The Black Family have since pursued separate careers, they periodically reunite for concerts and albums. Their critically acclaimed first album, simply titled The Black Family was originally released in Ireland in 1986.
