Hello.

I believe my father was a member of the Flying Carlton in Drogheda and wondered if anyone could tell me anything about them?  Also would there possibly be a poster out there showing the band members (long shot I know!).

He name was Des Courtney and I would really appreciate any information about the band.

Kind regards.

Hi Sheila,

My Dad was the double bass player with the flying Carlton in Drogheda. I have a scrapbook belonging to my late Mum with write ups and old photo's of the band. I recently met the singer "Ella Bannon" [o'Malley] who is in her 80's for the first time [at a Paul Brady concert!]
I am due to meet up with her & her daughter soon to hear all about the band days!

Hello.

Many thanks for contacting me.  Could I possibly ask if you could check the cuttings etc and see if there is a mention of my father?

I would really appreciate any information you could give me about him, assuming he was in this band!

Kind regards.

Shesha
