The Lamb Of The Apocalypse - Part 8
Today marks 50 years since the Miami Showband Massacre which saw the murder of singer Fran O'Toole, guitarist Tony Geraghty and trumpeter Brian McCoy. Two other band members, Des McAlea and Stephen Travers, were also injured but survived the atrocity. The band was travelling home to Dublin after a gig in Banbridge when they were stopped by a fake Army patrol involving Ulster Defence Regiment and Ulster Volunteer Force members. Half a century later, Stephen and Des want to celebrate the lives of their bandmates. Josh Crosbie, Newstalk Reporter has been meeting with those who survived the attack.
On July 31st 1975 the Miami Showband were making their way back to Dublin from a a gig in Banbridge when they were stopped at what they believed to be a British Army checkpoint at Buskhill. It was a bogus checkpoint manned by loyalist terrorists members of the UVF who attempted to plant a bomb on the band's minibus. What followed was one of the worst atrocities of the troubles. The bomb prematurely exploded killing two terrorists before three band members were shot to pieces in the mayhem that followed. Incredibly Stephen Travers and Des Lee somehow survived. To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Miami Showband Massacre, Des Lee joined Gerry Kelly on his Late Lunch Show on the publication of his life story "My Saxophone Saved My Life".

Ballrooms filled up night after night across the country, and at its heart was The Miami Showband, who were so beloved they were dubbed ‘The Irish Beatles'. But on July 31, 1975, everything changed. After a gig in Banbridge, Co Down, five members were stopped at what seemed a routine army checkpoint. What followed left the showband world shattered and survivors forever scarred by an act of unimaginable violence.
