[@roseannharvey1257]

What a voice Con has. I've remembered this voice for years.

[@flybobbie1449]

Takes me back to the 60's as a child. Mother would play their songs over and over. It would drown out her mental problems. All seems someone else life now.

[@charleswilliams6047]

they were always immaculately dressed and great singers

[@michaelausting6083]

Loved this song when it came out; who knew that many years later I'd meet MY little Irish Diane and marry her in October 1972 !

[@dianeoshea7006]

Memories of my Dad singing this to me. Lucky me!

[@jerryblice8929]

Love your Songs I can’t believe I missed this all the years

[@Lar308]

Remember listening to all the great 60's songs such as this on our big Phillips radio with the tubes that lit up in the back when I was about 4/5. Must have been a magical time if you had money at least which we did not. That Phillips radio was the only electrical item in the house other than the electric lights.

[@williamschlenger1518]

I remember being in my car & hearing them for the first time. Immediately became my favorite group.

[@patriciajudd284]

I Believe always reminds me of the first time I help our new daughter. She was beautiful and perfect - 10 fingers, 10 toes, long neck, big eyes looking at me.

[@dawnlaw1837]

[@hollywoodjoe123]

HERE THEY ARE - LIVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU - AS GREAT AS THEIR STUDIO RECORDING - NO GIMMICKS ALL TALENT - LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - THE BACHELORS !

[@DecCluskey]

Interesting guitars? Martin Dreadnaught bought from Mike Hurst when The Springfields disbanded ... Dusty went solo. I also bought their Gibson Banjo [a beauty] ... that was smashed by thieves who stole all our instruments at Elstree Studios ... including that Martin. Con is playing the first Gibson J60E in the UK ... given gratis by Selmer, the distributors. Brian Epstein bought two for John Lennon and Paul McCartney .... so the legendary J60E jumbo guitars were first used by Con and Dec. As were the, also legendary, Rickenbackers. John's bass was bought with Karl Denver's advice at Waltons in Dublin. BTW, that is one of the rare TV shows where we were actually playing live and the live sound was blended in with the studio orchestra ... highly unusual in the Sixties.

[@stephenogden5470]

Saw your brother playing in a charity football match for a local football player who had contracted multiple sclerosis here in Barnsley in the early to mid seventies. Always remember him saying "giz a kick" to one of the other players hahaha! He was a great singer and the Batchelors were always on tv and radio when I was a young lad; sadly they seem to have been airbrushed out of entertainment history!

[@rmstitanic8163]

Just Brilliant

[@dntamuu76]

Awesome! Thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@cuppajoe1]

This was Ireland's Kingston Trio. Loved both groups!

[@stationofdreams8242]

Con Cluskey had one of the great voices in pop.

[@lesreed1794]

And one of the best looking, too.

[@sueburman8818]

Still has even today. You should hear some of the things he sings on our fan corona diaries

[@kevinw9073]

GREAT MUSIC and fantastic trio.

[@thomasmcguire8731]

[@jimbohnenkamp5082]

I remember it was 1964 or 1965 when "Diane" was playing on the P.A. at the local grocery store where my dad and I were shopping. I was 14 or 15, and my dad and I didn't share the same musical tastes. That night, my dad started singing along quietly to "Diane" which I knew well because it had been on the charts. I sang with him, and it was a moment I never forgot. I had not known that my dad knew the song from the Big Band era.

[@kathtaylor2601]

Wow con is as a good voice fab singer ever 💘 perfect x

[@raymondfunnel6856]

I saw John in concert in Swindon with the NEW Bachelors and Susan Maughan

[@andrewbrowning9770]

A great Irish group

[@janp.3252]

In my youth I had the biggest crush on The Bachelors. Having an Irish dad it was inevitable I would learn the words to their songs before nursery rhymes. Fond memories.

[@maryringshall6229]

Loved the batchelors when a kid xx

Much better voices than the Beatles.

[@Truth4U638]

Dec appeared on C4 " Come Dine with me". At 79 hasn't changed much . Hilarious show❤

[@DobermanDave531]

I remember.. ...... As a young lad.. ......... This is the way cool guys are. But never knew that then 😉👍

[@michaelfirth1075]

Superb

[@hollywoodjoe123]

These 3 men are a few years older than the Beatles - and I am sure that the Beatles - in their early melodic period - had heard of the Bachelors - I see how John Lennon ,George Harrison and Paul McCartney sound somewhat like the vocals blend -

[@davidcoyle1084]

R.I.P. Con Cluskey. 😞
