In the late 1950's a young Newry band
called 'The Rhythm Aces', decided to ask a local ballroom
owner and dance promoter, Malachy O'Neill, to manage the
band.
Malachy agreed but only on the condition that he would augment the
band with some up-and-coming musicians from the local music scene
and change the band's name to The Hilton Showband. If you can write a brief paragraph about The Hilton Showband, if you can fill in some of the spaces (below) or if you have a different photo of the band, please let us know so that we can update this page.
