Jaysus lads, look what I found here.
I'm in shock at how many are familiar to me and me only being in my 20's

**green goblin** · 15/09/2004, 10:28 AM

Philomena Begley, Brendan Shine, Big Tom...god but this is one awful can of worms you've opened up here, old son. And this is only the c&w section!

I know, I think I've gone too far this time!

It was bound to happen sooner or later, I was getting away with murder here. Where are the moderators when you need to be controlled

I was just thinking that Mary Lou of Harvest was a bit of alright but then I found this picture.

**Pat O' Banton** · 15/09/2004, 12:11 PM

Okay own up, who out of those showbands have people seen? Brendan Quinn and Susan McCann are admitted by me, somehow I've managed to avoid Margo, Big Tom and the ubiquitos (in London at least) Indians.
I actually know someone who was in a band that modeled himself an Brendan Quinn!

**green goblin** · 15/09/2004, 12:23 PM

As I've previously confessed, I own two singles by Billy Brown and the Freshmen http://www.irish-showbands.com/images/pop/freshman.jpg. The implausibly punk rocky "Never Heard anything like it" and the bizarrely new Romantic "Abandon Chip". In defence, they were bought forme. But in truth, they have been well played... Although mainly on nights when I feel the need to listen to Leonard Nimmoy singing "If I had hammer" and the Fall doing Sister Sledge covers.

There are records by most of them in my mothers attic. I was subjected to them in my childhood. Can't recall ever seeing any of them live though.

Subjected being the correct term.

They used to play the classy establishments like The Gresham, the Galtymore and Wembley Stadium over here and of course these were the places that we all ended up when we were young cause we knew no better (and they had a slow set that you good set your watch by) so by default got to see snipet of stuff in between being blown out (at 1.55am in the Gresham) and drinking distingtly ropey lager.

I expect you've had good training from those two brothers of yours. One of them was certainly able to outlast me on the sauce the day of the Fulham game.

I shouldn't think so, but I will collect on that pint one day. And to your second part, definitely not, although we took in some English folk and Irish traditional music at Swanage Folk Fair last weekend and she seemed to enjoy it. Twice in one year might be a little too much for the poor thing.
