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. 鈥淪tep it out, Mary, my fine daughter, Show your legs to the countryman鈥. 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.
