The finale, Ronan Collins showband show, Sligo

[@michaeldineen8324]

Ronan Collins has done massive work, preserving the music of the showband era. What he has done, will be important. Many people have been critical' about this musical era in ireland. Whatever opinion people might have ,I think you had to be really talented to be in a band in Ireland' during the 60's and 70's.

Of course these had talent and what you see here is just a sample of the many Showbands that old repressed Ireland. Think of it the country Churched to death, And these come along and get Women and Men out for live music and entertainment . It's important to mention greats like The late Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore,Phil Coulter And of course Wee Van Morrison and the Monarchs from Belfast All cut their teeth in the showband era. A lot of these acts travelled to Germany to entertain soldiers and would of dreamt of breaking America. An awful lot of oul hatefull shite has been lobbed at the ole Irish Showband scene but let's face it Irish people are amongst the most musically talented people on Earth. We bred U2, The Pale, The boy bands are kinda showbandish and put our country on the map for all the right reasons Big respect!
