When the pop group who had a hit with 'Juliet' appeared in Derry they had a technical problem.
And Sean's neighbour had to go to the hall to fix it.

When the pop group who had a hit with 'Juliet' appeared in Derry they had a technical problem. And Sean's neighbour had to go down town to the hall to fix it. He worked in a TV shop so he knew what to do.
Charlie says Sean could do a whole programme of songs which have 'Mary' in the title.
He remembers one which he sang the week before he married his wife Mary. β€œStep it out, Mary, my fine daughter, Show your legs to the countryman”. His future in-laws were not impressed.
Margaret in Bangor thinks today would be a good day to give 'Out Of Time' a rattle on the show.
The Citizen asks about a large polished stone at Craigavon Bridge in Derry which the Citizen was told 'came from outer space'. It was Gerry Anderson who told him.
Was the first name of a Derry greyhound man 'Suits' Downey or 'Soots' Downey? The Pawnbroker remembers a 'Soots' Hale, who called everybody 'Mexicano' because he could never remember their first name. He was a grave digger.
Music from Simon & Garfunkel, Van Morrison, Johnny Mathis, Spencer Davis Group and more.
