Country Flavour Photo Gallery
Originally the backing band for Ireland's
"Queen of Country Music," Philomena Begley, the Country Flavour
would go through three lead singers in the standard fashion of the
showband era. If a lead singer left a band, the management
immediately replaced them with someone similar, hoping that the
band's reputation would carry on for at least a little while longer.
This happened with The Mainliners (Big Tom, John Glenn, Tom Allen,
Jan); the Country Flavour (Philomena Begley, Eileen King, Dan
O'Hara); and many others.
