Brendan was wonderfully warm and slightly shy gentleman. Had great time for his friends in Tralee and of course had a very long relationship with our DJ Curtin as a key addition to The Big Eight.

R.I.P. Brendan... Remember as a child Brendan & The Royal visiting our local town. The tickets went on sale at midday and were gone in an hour. The crowds were so large they had to sell the tickets this way. In later years I remember attending a studio recording in Henry Street. Dublin of one of his hits...

When the Royal Showband toured England in the early 1960's, their support group was four guys from Liverpool named..........John, Paul, George and Ringo.

[@sentimentaloldme]

Correct....and a further item of interest Gay Byrne when he worked on T.V. in England was asked by Paul McCarthy to manage the Beatles before Brian Epstein but he declined .
