Anthony Kearns' invitation to join the trio may have been based largely on his illustrious halftime performance at the culmination of the 1996 All-Ireland Hurling Championship and subsequent appearance at the FAI (Football Association of Ireland) finals, but he was singing publicly in his hometown of Kiltealy since the age of ten. These "tops of the town" shows gave way to years of high-level vocal competition and intensive training at FCJ (Faithful Companions of Jesus) Secondary School in Bunclody, an institution renowned for its music program.

Finbar Wright, known as "Ireland's Great Romantic Singer", grew up on a small farm in Ballinspittle, just yards from the sea. He began his music education on piano at the age of five. Wright also studied for the priesthood, heading off to board at Cork's Farranferris College at 11. He was ordained in 1980. At 22, he was the youngest priest in the world; his ordination required a special dispensation from the Vatican. He was even familiar to Pope John Paul II, as he had been selected to read the Gospel and sing the responsories at the Pope's Mass at Phoenix Park, Dublin, in September 1979. The first Mass of a reigning Pontiff in Ireland, the event was attended by 1.25 million people, at that time a third of the entire population of Ireland.
