CAMAC Con and his family came to CT in 2000 from Dublin, Ireland. Con has been singing and playing guitar for a long, long time. He had been a member of and had formed several traditional and musical folk and ballad bands over the years. Con and his sister Judy (who came over in 1998) got together and formed CAMAC in 2002. Chuck found his musical interest rekindled by Con and Judy, and joined the band in late 2002. Colleen joined sort of by accident in early 2004.
