  • Description

    No! Not 101 years of Showband Hits but, believe it or not, sixty years of Showband Hits, each one carrying memories and mind images of an extraordinary time for music in Ireland… ‘The Showband Era’ Very little video or film of Showband performances exist. But here, just for your ears, are many of the iconic recordings of that time. These tracks will paint the best musical pictures in your head and bring you back to a time and place when life, perhaps, was very different. Or maybe you’re discovering these songs and performances for the first time. Well, lucky you, you’re in for a real treat! So sit back, relax and listen. Or, if the mood takes you, stand up and dance just like you used to. Whatever way you react, I know it will give you a warm glow, to listen to this compilation. A great selection of Showband Hits - 101 of them! Ronan Collins
