Title: Anyone have memories
Post by shamrokchit on 12/12/06 at 20:55:40

Hi
I grew up in Dublin and now live in America. My Dad past away years ago but I always felt connected to him through music. He played and sang with Johnny Butlers Band and went by the name of Pat Montana. I was wondering if people out there remembered him. I am sure anyone that frequented the Metroploe Ballroom would have good memories.

Hi,

Your Dad was a dance band 'Vocalist' of the first rank.

In his time he was one of the top men in his field , a real Pro'.
Affectionately known as 'Monty' to his friends he was also one helluva poker player.

Regards

Barry

Thank you for the reply. I have also heard some amazing stories about my Dads poker playing.
