Hi folks,
Just remembering the many good nights that I spent in Glan Hall in the late 40s and early 50s -it was always packed out every Sunday night and there was plenty of talent there.
Admission:
Ladies 1 shilling
Gents 1-6 pence
The band, as I remember them, were:
Phil Bernard on the saxophone
Hugh Strong on the drums
Kathleen Sheridan
Frankie Arthur on accordions
Jimmy Shannon
Pat Ned Paddy (Páidín) on fiddles.
What a showband!
Sadly, they are all now gone to their eternal reward as are many others of that era, God rest their souls. Those were the days……..
