Loved DJ and the Kerry Blues as well, had many great nights dancing to their music all over Ireland. The showband were fantastic entertainers and show people.

Brendan Extremely Shy,I remember speaking to him before performing in the Rosnaree in Drogheda before going on Stage and when he went on stage a completely different person.The Undisputed King of the Showband Era.
R.I.P. Brendan... Remember as a child Brendan & The Royal visiting our local town. The tickets went on sale at midday and were gone in an hour. The crowds were so large they had to sell the tickets this way. In later years I remember attending a studio recording in Henry Street. Dublin of one of his hits...
Brendan was wonderfully warm and slightly shy gentleman. Had great time for his friends in Tralee and of course had a very long relationship with our DJ Curtin as a key addition to The Big Eight.
👍🏻@55 Irish having to leave their homes since outsiders interfered ........ EU & UN AGENDA 21 >>>>> DISPLACING & REPLACING INDIGENOUS IRISH OF IRELAND >>>>> ECONOMIC MY GRANTS!
When the Royal Showband toured England in the early 1960's, their support group was four guys from Liverpool named..........John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Correct....and a further item of interest Gay Byrne when he worked on T.V. in England was asked by Paul McCarthy to manage the Beatles before Brian Epstein but he declined .
Wow ..I remember always wondering as a youngster,why is said "K o' Neill when her name was Kathleen lol... I remember the smells still in both there and the dairy
lovely Thank you - I lived around the corner from the centre of the civilised world in the sixties on Parnell Street . This was when Black Jack Bicycles and Ford Anglias ruled supreme.
Bowyer was so corny and I told him so in The Imperial Palace in Vegas many moons ago. He was a complete paddy (sic) that night. A complete embarassment. Jerk.
When Irish artists and showbands went to the U.S. all the audience wanted to hear was Irish ballads ..Danny Boy, Mother Machree, Does Your Mother Come From Ireland...etc...etc...Same as U.S. visitors to Ireland still want to hear Danny Boy (and it's not even an Irish song)
Mr Keogh I await with bated breath your contribution to world and Irish music. Lets hope its good. Brendan had a great voice and also was professional enough to do what the audience wants. If in Ireland it would be different to what the people in the US want. I have often been asked to sing many songs considered Irish by visiting American tourists and I do. He who pays the piper calls the tune. When playing for a purely Irish audience the playlist is somewhat different. Thems the odds.
Well Tom .you sound like a complete dick and fool yourself, why would u want to run down a man who passed away.. I have met your kind, a self hating plastic paddy. Now cop on to yourself.
