Minor Detail was an Irish synth-pop duo active during the 1980s, consisting of brothers John and Willie Hughes. Their style was characterized by synth-driven melodies and catchy pop hooks, typical of the New Wave music prevalent at the time. The band is most remembered for their single, "Canvas of Life," which achieved moderate success in the United States. Despite their short-lived career, Minor Detail left a mark in Irish pop music history as one of the early adopters of the synthesizer in popular music.
