Another brother, Trevor (Strongman), played bass in The Virgin Prunes.
Lypton Village was a "youthful gang" created by Bono, Guggi (Derek Rowen) and Gavin Friday (Fionan Hanvey) in the early 1970s, where every member received a new identity and where they could escape from dreary and predictable Dublin life and be anything they wanted to be.

On 4 October 2009, three original members of the band - Gavin Friday, Guggi and Dik Evans - performed two classic Virgin Prunes songs, Sweethome Under White Clouds and Caucasian Walk, at Carnegie Hall as part of "An Evening with Gavin Friday and Friends", to celebrate Friday's 50th birthday.
