Rock Photos

Here's some photos from artists I've seen over the years.

Please remember in the old days no cameras were allowed and when you did manage to have a camera you had to dash to the stage before one of the old bouncers got hold of you, especially in the National Stadium.

There are many more concerts I attended but didn't chance bringing the camera as it would be taken off you.

This was before digital cameras, internet, U-Tube etc....

None of that existed when these were taken.

They used to play on a Monday night but it was worth it

Coming up next are The Pirates.

Johnny Kidd & The Pirates were legendary.

But the band came came back together in the mid-70's and they were magic. Mick Green on lead guitar is regarded as one of the best.

This was 17 Nov 1978 in Trinity College.

I think Pat James (formerly Radio Dublin) and now on THEROCK (need LOUD Hollywood voice for that!) used to be very keen on The Pirates and talked about them a lot.  Never heard or saw them though...
