Sweeney's Men is an album by Sweeney's Men

Line-up: Johnny Moynihan (vocal, bouzouki, tin whistle), Andy Irvine (vocal, mandolin, harmonica, guitar) and Terry Woods (vocals, 6-string guitar, 12-string guitar, banjo, concertina). Produced by Bill Leader. Recorded at Livingstone Studios, Barnet in 1968. It was re-released on CD in 1996, packaged together with their second album, "The Tracks of Sweeney". The final banjo riff on "The House Carpenter" is identical to the riff on Steeleye Span's "The Lowlands of Holland", where Terry Woods is again the banjo-player. Moynihan's version of "Willy O'Winsbury" is almost identical to the version by Anne Briggs. She was a roadie for the band for two years.
