C'mon everyone lets help Gerry make this into a fitting memorial to the guys and gals of the showbands,whether you were a fan,musician,singer or sold minerals at the mineral bar,people like Gerry and Francis Kennedy do a great job,please help them!

Good on ya Celebrity!. It's about time someone said something. You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a silent community. :-X You must be from my era as I see you mention a mineral bar 8)

Ya good on celebrity, I am also of the mineral bar brigade, orange juice I believe, was coke invented in thoses day's    ???

Nosey yes it was,but around the mineral bar you always got the managers,agents,especially in the National in Dublin,they were there checking their bands,talking shop and observing,like in Madigans in Donnybrook the place to be seen,if you wanted to get on in the showband world. ;D ;D
