This brings me back 35 years. The Indians were a great band who could command audiences of 2,000+ in Northern Ireland. A very versatile band who could play C&W, ballads, pop or rock. A great talent and this brings it all back!!
as a kerry man i gave 6 months in dromahane doing a farming course, early 80's, the majestic was the the hot spot, joe mac & the dixies were regulars there
I have fantastic memories of this band in three prime and was in Cappagh Hospital working on the Children’s ward when they visited and I have a photo of Shane on the day. Great guys.
pomeroy hall-the gap ballroom mullislin-ardboe hall-drumquinn social centre-kildress inn---great memories of the early seventies-followed the indians to all these venues-sadly all now closed and many friends now deceased as well as many band members from various bands-good to see eamon keane and brain woodfull oridginal band members still playing away after 41 years------long may it continue
loves you guys to bits you were and are great ...my mam bought mee your album in the 1970's when ya all coming over to england guys let mee know love yous
Anybody remember them singing "On the wings of a dove".....saw them recently......didn't have the guts to ask them......danced to them at "The Big Ridge" in Dromore Co. Tyrone.....(an awful long time ago) that's the song I remember. Anyone else???.....
@greataway -god drumquin social centre brings back many good memories for me---my friends and i went to drumquin from pomeroy on a friday nite during summer months back in 71-75 when begleys hall closed from june to sept to allow diferant parish carnivals to take place-it was great venue-drumquin social centre--there where six of us ran about together-sadly 4 of them are now deceased(r.i.p) but great memories of those years at the differant halls and carnivals----if only you could turn bk time
They were a mighty band. They were originally called the casino showband. Noel Brady, was the best big chief, no doubt about it. Not much of their work, has turned up on c.d. I hope that someone will do something about it sometime.
Noel Brady I feel is the best but I am good friends with Raymond Kelly and I said he is 2nd and he agreed with me both brilliant but there is only one noel brady
yes derry whitelaw-who left the indians to form the apaches is sadly deceased as well he died from cancer about 6-7 years ago----i heard noel being interviewed on radio one nite about his days in indians and he said he had died unknown to him---he only heard after it had happened
can anyone name the 2 guys on extreme right of photo?-i know the rest of line up but these 2 left the band around 1972 but i cant remember their names -was the one on extreme right of photo-Derry Whitelaw?---if it is i think hes dead now-i heard noel brady in interview on radio about 6 months ago saying he had passed away unknown to him until after his funeral-anyone know?thanks
@leannewoodfull -u must be johns daughter---------------does your dad play guitar at all now?-he was great guitarist back in early seventies-he used to play in pomeroy hall in co tyrone with oridginal line up back in 71-72?-i think he left to join apaches? not sure-is he the guy does the painting now----no point in asking brain-hes not very talkative
