Red Barons in the late 1960's

The Red Barons were formed in 1967 and was made up of five members from the village of Armoy in County Antrim.
There were three brothers - Harry, Barney and Paul Mulholland along with Malachy Laverty and his cousin Jimmy Laverty.
After playing local venues and relief to showbands for a couple of years, they moved on to the dancehalls, added three musicians
and in 1970 became the Young Stars. Anthony McAuley from Cargan, Ballymena managed the band.
