The memoirs of Arklow's Red Seven/Columbia Showband as told by its members and some close associates in their individual interesting stories - warts and all - from its formation in 1960 to its demise in 1969. They also give a great insight into the showband era.NEWSWORTHY NOTES FOR BOOK INFO1. In 2001 the then President of Ireland Mary McAleese recognised the musicians of the sixties showband era for giving a generation of Irish citizens wonderful entertainment and lifelong priceless memories.2. The Irish Government recognised and celebrated the Showband Era of the sixties by the immortalisation of a representative number of showbands on Irish postage stamps'.3. Arklow historian Jim Rees, when he was launching the book in 2011, said that in telling our story it tells the story of 90% of the showbands in Ireland. That's what makes it such a valuable and important social history book.4. The author is convinced that our stories about the showband era of the sixties makes it one of the most important Irish social/music history books of the twentieth century.5. Paranormal Experience. One very stormy night as the band drove home after playing in Eniscrone a distressed girl in her teens or early twenties was on the side of the road thumbing a lift. The driver pulled in and offered her a lift home. She got into the minibus and when asked what about the boy on the side of the road she said he is ok, go ahead. To get the rest of the story you may read the book....'6. If one thinks back to the phenomenon of the sixties showband era you can only wonder why the citizens of Ireland seemed to awaken from a long suppressed sleep and unleash energies they never realised they had.7. There is a copy of my book in the libraries of every University in Ireland. There is also a copy of the book in the Music History Museum in Galway.8. Mr Michael Murphy who lectures in the Dunlaoire IT College said that of all the books he read about the showband era of the sixties my book was the most detailed and accurate.9. My most enjoyable experience was playing in the Gresham Ballroom in London. It had a unique revolving stage . We started playing as it was moving and got a tumultuous applause when we came in view of the four thousand or so dancers. At the same time the resident orchestra was still playing as they were moving out of sight. A wonderful sight to behold.

'The suddenness of the punch had caught me off guard ... I knew then that something was definitely wrong.' On 31 July 1975, members of The Miami Showband were returning to Dublin after a gig in Banbridge when they were stopped at a border checkpoint. For Stephen Travers, the band's new bass player, it was an unusual experience but he wasn't too worried. However, as his band mates were lined up beside their vehicle Stephen noticed that the atmosphere had suddenly changed... something more sinister was happening. In a flash their lives were dramatically altered when a bomb that was being placed in the back of their van suddenly exploded prematurely. The events of that night would never leave Stephen Travers - being hurled into the air by the explosion, listening to the cries of his friends as they were mercilessly gunned down and the steps of the gunmen getting closer as they approached to finish him off... What is it like to survive such an atrocity? To live when all around you others died? In The Miami Showband Massacre, Stephen Travers remembers the highs of being in the most successful showband of the 1970s and how it all ended in a terrifying moment of death and destruction. But he also looks for answers as to why his friends - Tony Geraghty, Fran O'Toole and Brian McCoy - were killed. Who ordered the ambush? What drove them to such an act? Stephen wants to understand, but will he find the answers when he meets the men responsible for the massacre face to face?

Since the 1990s the cruise industry has become one of the largest employers of musicians in the world. Thousands of professional musicians work on cruise ships daily, entertaining millions of passengers. Cruisicology: The Music Culture of Cruise Ships provides the first in-depth account of the culture and the industrial determinants of cruise ship music. Based on interviews with working musicians and coauthor David Cashman’s experience as a cruise ship musician, this book investigates how music is organized and made onboard a cruise ship. David Cashman and Philip Hayward study the working life of musicians, why and how corporate shipping lines include music onboard their vessels, the history of musicians on passenger shipping, and the likely future directions of musical entertainment within the industry. Cashman and Hayward illustrate the positive and negative experience of artists making music every day in confined spaces with close proximity to their audiences.
