Hey all, what great memories this brings back!! Martina here, used to go to the Baggot to watch them with my mate Sandra....and yeah..they were ahead of their time, always seemed so professional. They never got the breaks did they.
I get physiotherapy on my neck now as payback for my Winters Reign headbanging days!! :) Ah it was worth it...
So did anyone ever actually get them together for a reunion?
hey everyone i am trying to get this band to reform for maybe one or two shows, im in the process of convincing billy, i know leo is up for it, do you think if they played there would be a good crowd?
Yeah, great memories...McGonniggles, Bruxelles, Neptune bar, Ivy rooms and the maggot bin. I used to play in a band called gilt edge, did a few supports to winters reign. Other bands I can remember were, Ashanti, No Sweat, Rockabye, Shanghai and Trans Am. Now that would be a good night....
i remember them all well and the pubs, i remember you gerry , i played in rockaby,chylde,catwalk,and a small stint with the great man eddy of trojan,burxelles on a sat night was rock central.they were mighty days,some great band around then,after many years away from music i,m now back playing with rod ex WR and mark ex chylde, in the blue thunder band,after all we did live on the same street and grew up toghther so we may as well rock on together,and lovin every minute of it,
It all seem like a dream now. tell Mark & Rod, Derek Jordan sends his regards. i was also told that Gerry Hoey is offering to organise this 80s rock bands reunion. way to go Gerry!!!!!
It would be a blast, just to see all the old faces. from the baggot and mcgons. let us know when your next gig is. would love to see the band. As for shanghai, are the lads still around. take care.
Ah, the memories of all the nights spent in the Baggot Inn, always a great night out, the guys were fab

Hey Brian! hows life?
Great idea for a reunion - why not round up all the bands from the last Great Recession and do an 80s Lark in the Park ;-))
