Irish Showbands and Beat-Groups Bandwagons
(1) |

| If you were a punter in
the '60s, you will remember the bandwagon rolling into town in the
afternoon of the dance in the local ballroom or marquee; if you were a
band-member you will remember the bumpy, pot-holed roads, the snatched 15
minutes of sleep, the heater breaking down in the middle of Winter, the
sheet of plywood separating the gear from the seats and the hierarchy of
who-sat-where! Not many bands included their trusty old Morris, Bedford,
Commer or Transit in their photos but here are some that I have collected
over the years. |
