The
Jack Barrett
Showband

Jack Barrett from Kells led a very popular dance band in the late '50s and early '60s. For a time, he marketed his band as The Everglades (no connection with another band of the same name). His band was regularly pencilled in when Carnivals of Dancing (Marquees) were being organised.
