Finally got a chance to see the documentary series #BallroomBlitz last night. Some liked it. Some hated it. Personally, I thought I’d was excellent look into the #Showbands scene in Ireland in the 60’s and 70’s. You have to watch both parts but I highly recommend part two. Great job all.

Paying tribute to Dickie Rock, Clayton said: "Dickie was a member of the original Miami Showband and shaped its reputation of professionalism and talent. He was electric."
