The media spotlight this week was firmly on our
Dancehall Days exhibition, with great coverage in the
Irish Independent today, adding to all the positive pieces from the local papers; Galway Independent, Galway Advertiser, Sentinel and City Tribune. Earlier this week showband star, Jimmy Higgins announced that he was gifting us with the loan of his trumpet for the exhibition, and we've also put the word out that we are looking for that 'special dress' or shoes that may have been worn to the dances in Galway. As well as including the pic above, the Irish Independent gave a great flavour of the upcoming exhibition by also including a picture of the Quicksilver Dance Band from 1957 and another picture of couples John & Bridie Keeler and Tom & Eileen O'Donnell (nee Welby), from around 1958.
