| These are the dates I remember , we also played Slane Castle 1980/81, I think we may have supported Elvis Costello - it's all a blur now. The Irish tour with the Undertones also included Sligo , Arboe, Limerick, Galway etc .The Moondogs also made two appearances on the TV show GET IT TOGETHER circa 1980/81. We also played regularly in Omagh,Strabane and the Rocking Chair bar in Derry. We were filmed by a German TV crew in the Rocker, but I'm unsure if it was ever shown. The band played in Dublin a good few times - once with a two piece brass section. One other interesting thing was in 1979/80 we recorded a single with Jim O'Neill (brother of Dee and John). It was his song and he sang , we supplied the backing. | ||
