Where Are They Now?
The Story
The first advertisement for the Longford-based Sahara Showband we
could find was in October 1966, so we assume they started around
this time. The band was managed by local Granard man Tom Joe
Donohue.
In 1981 Paddy had a band called
the Rhythm Blues.
In May, 1972 Paddy left the band
wand was replaced by Chuck Owens
He would form a new band called
The Oklahoma which played until 1976.
Band may have kept going as a
local group called the Sahara Boys around the midlands.
Paddy Hanrahan sadly passed away
in March 28th 2019, he was 79.
