Buckaroos Photo Gallery (1968-198?)

Brian Coll's career started back in the early 1960's when he was with The Polka Dots, a band that would later be fronted by Frankie McBride and would also be joined by Rob Strong. However, he really came into his own as a member of one of Ireland's most enduring bands, the Plattermen. Initially called The Platters Showband, the group soon changed their name because of confusion with The American Platters. In short time, they became The Plattermen. However, in Brian's day, the Plattermen were a country showband and a long way from the outfits fronted by Rob Strong or Rock Stewart.

In 1968, after building a solid following in the ballrooms, Brian took the same step that many other showband vocalists took in those heady days...he went out on his own. He formed The Buckaroos, the same name as Buck Owens' backing group in the States.
