The Jets @ The Bailey last night

A few photos from Lewis Doyle's Rockabilly night in the Bailey last night.

The Jets rocked... they did a cover of Eddie Cochran's "C'mon Everybody" that made the hair on my neck stand.

Judgement Day

jpb1974 - what age are you? I thought that only old farts like me liked Eddie Cochran. Funny thing is I didn't know anything about the Bailey gig but quite by chance I listened to two of my favourite Eddie Cochran tracks (Summertime Blues and C'mon Everybody) on Grooveshark yesterday - first time that I've heard them since 1972 or thereabouts.

Heading towards 37 JD... but anyone who grew up in the Shannon in the mid to late eighties would know who Eddie Cochrane was as it was a ritual in of any the Community Centre or Hut discos to have a rock n' roll set where the likes of Burthy Brooks, Charlie O'Brien, Paul Ryan and Eugene Corrigan would do the 'bop' to such songs.

I should have guessed your age from your subtle username.

And as a 42 year old, anyone who grew up in the Shannon in the early to mid 80s would have seen those lads' bigger brothers doing the very same.

That's right bearhunter. The rockabilly thing was extremely big in the Shannon in the early 80s. Plenty of Creps and Wickerpickers walked up and down the backway.

The likes of the Quirke familys Myles, Billy, Johnnie, Tom and Sheamie. The Doyle brothers Liam and Pat were Teddy boys but the younger brother John{DoDo} was into Madness and Mods bomber jacket and Doc boots. You also have the Dywer brothers Jimmy {duck}, Canno, (Paisley RIP and Hutchie RIP). The MacDonalds Lar and Pat {Mixo}. The Brooks brothers Joe, Batty, and Mulver. The Tinney brothers Larry {Goat}, Anthony {Yobby}, and Liam {Douser RIP},
Kevin {Luigi} Moorehouse. Anthony {Squirt} Grant, John {Herman RIP }Corrigan and John Sullivan.
There is a Photo doing the rounds at the moment taken on Vineger hill in the early 80's With most of the above mentioned in it along with a young Mick Delaney who was only a child in it.
You also have the an older generation with the likes of Timmy Doyle, Martin Sheen {Sheeno}, Paddy (Rocky}Delaney, Jessie Quinn {RIP}, Terry o brian {Sunshine}, and the Moorehouse brothers, Tony and Nobby Aswell in the early 80's.
