On this page, we want to pay tribute to the many bands that
entertained Irish audiences back in the "good old days." Additionally, we have
been fortunate enough to receive collections of photos from several generous
individuals, click here to view those photos.
If anyone takes exception to having these photos exhibited on our website,
please let us know and we'll remove them immediately. Thanks. By the way, if you know where any of the
musicians from these bands are today, please click here
