JIMMY FERGUSON
Lead singer (who has yet to take a singing lesson!) comedian and irrepressible "Life-of-the-Party", JIMMY was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The urge to travel in his early teens took him aboard a British Merchant Navy ship, where he spent three years seeing the world from the scullery. His last trip landed him in Canada, but the urge to travel stayed with him and, not content with an expedition up the Amazon River, he is now fascinated with the study of flying saucers. A rough and ready soccer-player, JIMMY refuses to sleep in a room alone!
WILCIL McDOWELL
Born in Antrim Town in Northern Ireland, WILCIL opted for the accordian instead of architecture and wound up with the coveted "All Ireland Championship Accordianist" Award. He toured extensively on both sides of the ocean with his own band, The Donegore Ceili, until the call came to join the ROVERS. He can be found on the sidelines of a good boxing match or motorcycle race whenever time permits.
WILL MILLAR
Emcee, bard, composer, poet, singer, historian, story-teller, interpreter, WILL was born in Ballymena, County Antrim, and began his entertainment career as one of "THE MILLAR KIDS" (with brother George and sister Sandra), touring Ireland until the family emigrated to Canada. The guitar, mandolin, banjo and Ireland's happy tin whistle are but a few of the accomplishments of this self-taught impressario. In Trinidad he mastered and became an expert on steel drums and Calypso music. He had not been in Calgary long before one of the local television stations featured him in a one-hour children's show called JUST FOR FUN. The show quickly gathered a loyal following of children by the thousands (and, more often than not, any adult free to watch afternoon television!) Then came THE UNICORN, written by Playboy's SHEL SILVERSTEIN, and the IRISH ROCKET TOOK OFF! A student of ancient Irish music, WILL's writing ability is not limited to music. With TALES TO WARM YOUR MIND (a book of nonsense poems for adults and children) behind him, he is now at work on a collection of short stories to be entitled, "BUN, TWERP AND ME".
GEORGE MILLAR
Singer, guitarist and accomplished "flat-picker" whose first musical instrument was a pair of spoons, GEORGE was one-third of the MILLAR KIDS with brother WILL and sister Sandra in Ireland. When the family settled in Canada, he continued to perform with his sister, accompanied by their father on the accordian. Soccer, trout-fly fishing and the Vancouver Canucks hockey team vie for his free time.
JOE MILLAR
Often described as "The Gypsy" by fans, JOE is featured in love song solos, plays the electric bass, harmonica, button accordian and lends bass harmony to group vocals. Born in Ballymena, JOE was trained by his grandfather to be a cobbler, but the writing was on the wall when he began to win prizes for dancing. JOE's talent as a musician surfaced quickly and the natural outcome was an invitation from cousin WILL to be part of The Irish Rovers. Happy with life in Vancouver and devoted to his garden there, JOE heads for the golf course whenever he has a day off.

The Irish Rovers celebrate their 10th anniversary this year with
out a change in personnel or management since the formation of
the group in 1964. This alone is unusual in the entertainment
business, but then, Will, Jimmy, George, Wilcil and Joe are not
only unusual they are unique.
am proud to have managed the Rovers from the beginning,
sharing with them their experiences while on tour in Canada, the
United States, Australia, New Zealand and even Japan where
they delighted their fans with a Japanese rendition of their
Unicorn hit.
The Rovers television series while starting its fifth successful
season on the CBC network in Canada is being syndicated in the
United States and other foreign countries.
Talented, versatile and hard working, the Rovers provide a
wholesome brand of exciting family entertainment. Each perform
ing evening, be it the Festival Hall in Melbourne, Maple Leaf
Gardens in Toronto or Carnegie Hall in New York, the Rovers
leave the rafters ringing with music and fun not soon to be
forgotten.
In recognition of their fine talent and to celebrate their 10th
anniversary MCA has assembled this album in Canada which
features their most successful songs that were previously re
leased on the Decca Label and it marks a milestone in a career
that I know will continue for many years to come.
