David Dwane's Photo Collection
David has been a writer for one of Ireland's foremost
sources for entertainment news since the dawn of the showband era......The
Western People newspaper, for many years. Along with Michael Cummins, they
keep the West of Ireland up to date on all the happenings in rock, pop, and
country, as well as on the international scene. David has been kind enough to
dig through the WP archives and sent us the photos below. We want to
thank him, not only for the photos, but for his continuing support of the band
business in Ireland. You can reach David at:
