Biography
The Glencoves were a folk pop group formed in 1961 in Mineola, Long Island, New York. The band consisted of Don Connors (founder, lead vocals, banjo and guitar), Bill Byrne (vocals), and Brian Bolger (vocals and guitar). After releasing their first single record, John Cadley joined the group as a vocalist and guitarist. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Hootenanny", which peaked at Number 5 or Number 6 in the local New York market and reached Number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. The song's title reflects the folk sing-alongs popular during the folk revival of the 1960s. They disbanded in 1965.
