As you know by now, we're trying to build a comprehensive collection of information about the bands we all grew up listening to...especially those in the 70's and 80's about whom so little has been written. If you have any band handouts, photos, or other materials, we'd love to share them with the world. We appreciate your support!

Dear Gerry. Just been glancing through the photos again and came across the Plattermen page. I note you say there was another member of the original line up. Unfortunately I cant remember that person right now, but I will ask Pat Chesters or Ray Moore if I can get hold of them. However there are also some others you have ommitted form you line up changes. Namely Gewrry McElduff came in as drummer during the Rock era and also John Trotter was trombone player/keyboard player/ bagpipe player et al. You said they never had a keyboard player yet credit Ray with playing organ. He is in fact an extremely good piano player as you probably know. and he DID play the elctric piano (as did John T) in the band when Rob Strong came in. Finally the entire band line up changed when Willie Loughrey became front man. In fact he never played with any of the band at all as they had broken up before he resurrected the name at the end of the seventies beginning of eighties.
Hope most of this makes sense to you. all the best (Declan (Duke) Colgan.

Hi,

My Dad is Francis Hughes. He was in Roly Daniels & the Green County & Jim Farleys band before that. There is a pic on this site of the Green County band listing some gigs from 1971 in the pic. One of the dates is Enniscrone. My mum mentioned a few weeks ago that was the night Mum & Dad met. Would it be possibly if I could get a print of the pic. I would pay for the print. Its their anniversary next month.

There are a load of Photos at home of Dad & the bands he was in. I could route them out & E-mail them to you.

Tks. Graham.

Just in relation to a photo that you have of Philomena Begley and the County Flavour. The 2 Mc Nallys names are Brian (RIP) who was my father and his brother Michael. Could you please insert these names to the photo.

Thanking you
