The Story

The Odeon was formed with some Mick Delahunty members: Jack Bayle. Horst Henchel (RIP), Paddy Byrne, Ernie Pigott (RIP) and John Fennessey, who at the time was with Jack Ruane (Ballina). The band also recruited Fergie Gibson who at the time was with a band in Dublin and a local guitarist Alan Gregory from Clonmel who was also in a band in Dublin. (We think Jimmy Dunnys band). Based in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, the bands realised many of their gigs were in the North so they decided to move to Dublin which was central to all gigs. The band was a very good dixieland band and we did all the showband tunes as well. This would have been around 1963.
