Formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1957 as "The Harmonichords" (sometimes known as "The Harmony Chords"), a classically styled instrumental harmonica-act. Members were Conleth (Con) Cluskey, his younger brother Declan (Dec) Cluskey, and their friend John Stokes. Under that name they played lived and on radio. The trio, still in school, all in their mid teens, were strictly instrumental, a semi-professional three-harmonica outfit. By the late 1950s, they were singing folk and traditional Irish songs, the brothers on acoustic guitars and Stokes playing double bass. In 1960, they changed their name to the Bachelors.
