Something a bit different on substack. I wrote about @MiamiShowband six years ago and, on his 74th birthday, I'm putting it up here. Give it a read. A moving and horrifying tale open.substack.com/pub/tonyevan...

50 years. #MiamiShowband This song seems to say it all. No better refutation of violence, Fran and the band at their best.

Released posthumously. Rest in Music, Fran, Tony and Brian.

They are again searching for the body of Captain Robert Nairac. No doubt he was a very brave soldier, albeit somewhat reckless...but the question of his involvement in the Miami Showband massacre still prevail. Was he involved? #thetroubles #captainrobertnairac #miamishowband #southarmagh #14int

Of course, #MVT was present at the memorial concert for the #MiamiShowBand massacre in #Dublin 10 days ago. Don't know the story? Watch the 2019 Netflix documentary. Proceeds from the evening went to the #IrishCancerSociety, which we wholeheartedly supported.

MVT in the Green Room which is actually red. With Stephen Travers, one of the surviving members of the Miami Show Band. Who’s that guy again? 😉 Hi Louis! With Des Lee, one of the surviving members of the Miami Show Band.
