Michael Green the Irish Lad from Blackwater tells us that there is an interesting site that has a bundle of information and photographs on the Showband Years to be found under www.iangallagher.com/showbanlist.htm Noticed a photograph of parishioner Ciaran Kelly and his Showband. There is an amount of information on Roscommon and Leitrim and have a look at the Parish of Kilronan Newsletter and Activities which seem to be blossoming under the guidance of a great team. Feel that Father Sean Tynan must have a big input into and he had his own connections with The Showband Years when as a fund-raiser he ran "Banquets" in Clononey Castle with dancing to Eamon Robinson and The Evergreens Showband back over thirty years ago.
Meanwhile remember Willie The Scot from a few days ago. Well Willie Cowie told on Friday that he had won the Safe Supervisor of the week on his last week nominated by the ESB and that Willie had nominated Keith Thomas for the safe worker of the week.They both won and Keith got a 20 inch colour television and Willie won a home DVD system. Willie had hoped to win the TV intending to donate it to a local retirement home but alas there was only one TV available.
