Dunno if it was a coincidence with Fermanagh playing and winning today but I decided today to start listening to the Erne counties finest, Mama's Boys. Great band, Needle in the Groove is such a great song. Anyone have their albums, they're hard to pick up these days I think though. Most of them seem to be on import only online. I see Pat McManus is still gigging about though.

Can anyone recommend me some albums/songs.

i could easily be wrong, though Wikipedia has it as The McManus brothers, who grew up on a farm near the village of Derrylin, Co.Fermanagh,

I always (for nearly 30 years now) understood they were from Fermanagh.

Yip indeed from Derrylin (or at least the McManus lads were) they were from Aughakillymaude, I think board member sammymaguire might live around them parts but im not sure.

Supported Thin Lizzy in the early 80's in the Ulster hall.

If I recollect did one of the brothers, Tommy not die young of Leukemia or the likes?

Deadly band and think a few vinyl's of theres could still be floating around home somewhere!
