Leavey Ladz
The Leavey Ladz have had many members over the years and outside of the band itself there is a society with the same name. The original lineup of the group consisted of Pat, Cal, Daryl, Matthew and Fitzy. However as with any major group, difficulties emerged with drug and alcohol problems and this led to members leaving an new ones coming in. Today the lineup is as follows: Mal, Gene, Daryl, Cal and Pat. The membership of Pat is under question due to his desire to pursue a solo career so the best way to look at the modern lineup is Take That. Pat can be described as the Robbie Williams of the group and like Robbie it is hoped that one day Pat will be back again to perform with the group. The wider group that the band is part of has many members and these are the following: Cal, Colm, Daryl, Duffy, Fitzy, Gene, Padraig, Pat and Peter. The Ladz also have an ambassador to the Cats group and this ambassador is Tom. He facilitates meetings between the two groups and provides food, drink and entertainment to the Ladz. There is one other "member" (in the loosest of terms), Stephen, but there are some issues surrounding his membership.

Council Controversy: Stephen was kicked out of the Leavey Ladz as he sold secrets of the group to 'The Council', a group of girls whom the Ladz associated with. His membership was removed at a trial investigating his activities where he was found guilty by the 'Sultan', his associate 'Black Bastard' and by the Jury. After a three year period he can apply to have his membership reinstated but that will be a matter for the Sultan's court.

Formation of the Group:

The Leavey Lads are a group founded in Maynooth in October 2008. The name of the group came about from the apartment block that the ladz lived in, in particular Leavey 2. The name came about one day in the Maths support centre where the mathematical retards, Pat,Daryl and Matthew were struggling to finish an assignment due to their lack of knowledge on the subject area. It was here that the name 'The Leavey Ladz' was first created and Pat proceeded to design a poster for the group and a date for the first concert was come up with. The idea for a boy band was first come up with by member Cal who saw an advertisement looking for a boyband. Cal called up the manager who was looking for young lads to audition but instead of being a manufactured commodity it was decided by the ladz that they would create and manage their own band.

The Ladz now had a first gig that they had to prepare for. Hundreds of copies of the poster that Pat had designed were printed and the large team behind the Ladz began putting these up around campus. One well noted incident is the plastering of the John Hume Building in these posters. It was here that the bad boy image of the Ladz fist reared its head as they clashed with security. Security demanded that the posters be removed and in the end this had to be done. However one poster was left above the O'Briens sign in the John Hume Building and it is still there as a monument to Maynooth's most famous Boyband to this day. The Ladz then had to start rehearsing for their first gig and had the difficult decision of deciding what songs they would sing. Rehearsals took place in the hallway of Leavey Two but halfway through rehearsals a major incident took place. Colm severely injured his finger when it was caught in the door of 2b-rehersals had to be delayed while this urgent matter was attended to. After Colm had been slapped over the head and abused, the Ladz got back to doing what they do best. They only had one day to prepare but boy did they deliver.

First Gig:

The original venue for the concert was scheduled to be the Astro Turf Pitch but due to weather conditions the gig was rescheduled to take place in the Ladz home, Leavey Hall, at the last minute. The venue began filling up very quickly as word spread across campus that a new super-group was forming. The Ladz came on stage in front of a sell out crowd and gave a performance that those in attendance will never forget. The setlist included George Micheal's 'Faith', Take That's 'Rule The World' and the Leavey Ladz signature song, Backstreet Boys 'I Want It That Way'.
