THE BEGINNING: Good Clean Fun was created by Mike Bruccoleri (guitar/mandolin/lead vocals/band leader/emcee), in January, 1997 with the simple idea of creating the next great wedding and party band. For the first 2 years, the band performed under various monikers, including Brock & Fogarty (Mike Bruccoleri & Eileen Fogarty), Celtic Reign (directed by Jimmy Cunningham of The Cunningham Brothers), and Band of Gold, until it settled on the name Good Clean Fun late in 1998.
