"At it's peak the showband boom provided employment directly to some 12,000 people..."(source: The Northside Folklore Project: http://www.ucc.ie/research/nfp/archive1/page3.html)

Listed below are the names of some of the more well-known showbands. In time, this list will expand and include links to scrapbook pages containing photographs and other showband memorabilia. If you would like to suggest that we include a band not listed here, please feel free to send in the name (to: Webmaster@jivenaires.com) or leave a note in the showband memory book . If you have pictures you'd like to share, or have included on this site -- we'd love to see them --before sending any, however, please do take the time to read our submission guidelines.
