The band made their name in the early days around mid Ulster ... Bellaghy, Castledawson, Moneymore, Magherafelt, Tobermore, Killygullib, and around Ballymena, Randalstown, Crumlin and Antrim

These photos were taken at a practice in the Flamingo Ballroom, Ballymena

The band, however, had not managed to progress to such heights at this stage of their career

On holiday at Butlins Mosney around that time

I seem to remember that we met the Young Shadows from Dublin on that holiday
