It gave her a confidence boost. Sean then sent Sinead to Newtown School where she recorded five of her songs two of them even became a part of her first album. In 1964 she met Colm Farrelly and they formed a band named Ton Ton Macoute and recruited some talented members. They started to perform in different cities.
