Any chance anyone out there has footage of when Wanderly Wagon was in Clonmel.
It appeared in the opening credits of several episodes for one series as far as I know. It may have been a Paddys Day parade or Easter parade, early 70's I guess. Featured the Wagon being pulled by real horse through crowds in Main St Clonmel. One of the very few times the Wagon left Dublin. Gets a mention in a Eugene Lamberts interview. May contain relatives.

Eugene Lambert interview 2006
"Jim also suggests that the original intention was for the show to be an outside broadcast, with the wagon (physically) travelling around Ireland every week? Was that the case?
Yes, but we very seldom travelled anywhere! We had it down in Clonmel at a big parade one time…and I’m sure there’s footage somewhere, because that was filmed…so it’s around somewhere. "
