[edit] Members

I added Julie Leahy to the members list as she was a member for many years, and was their featured vocalist as well. I don't think she's still with the band, so if anyone can provide a year in which she left, please do. 23skidoo 21:28, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Irish or Scottish?

I always thought, from the Celtic sound of their music, that they were from Nova Scotia or PEI. But they're from Ontario? Are they of Irish or Scottish heritage and is their repertoire primarily Celtic or Celto-Canadian, as with the Cape Breton music? Badagnani 07:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Homemade and the self-titled releases

I can confirm the existence of Homemade, which was pressed by Foreign Media Music (#5063). I purchased a copy at Indigo Books and Music in Calgary. I sent Leahy's management an e-mail asking about it and they said it was a planned release that for licensing reasons was pulled from stores. Obviously I got a straggler; I chose not to include this information in the article as it needs a better source than an e-mail exchange. In addition, it should be acknowledged that the group released at least 3 albums (possibly as many as 5) in the 1980s as "The Leahy Family". I purchased two of them at concerts and a third at A&B Sound in Vancouver, the latter suggesting that some of the releases had some distribution in Canada. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a comprehensive list of the group's early releases and their official website doesn't reference these early recordings, which to my knowledge were all titled The Leahy Family (sort of like how most of Peter Gabriel's early albums were simply self-titled), except for a Christmas release. 68.146.41.17 19:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
