THE town of Bandon has a long tradition of music and many people all over Cork will recall those halcyon days dancing at the crossroads, dancing in the ballrooms of romance, and rocking n’rolling in dance-halls and marquees all over the country.
“As a musician or a band, you know you’re doing something right when you get booked to play at a wedding in two years’ time!” says Michael McCarthy, of The Old Town Hall Band.
