The Miami Showband

{ The Miami Showband were an Irish showband in the 1960s and 1970s led firstly in 1962 by singer Jimmy Harte, followed by Dickie Rock and later by Fran O'Toole. They had seven number-one records on the Irish singles chart. The band's career was interrupted at the height of their fame when three members – Fran O'Toole, Tony Geraghty, and Brian McCoy – were killed in 1975 by loyalist terrorists, in a botched attack initially intended to convince the United Kingdom government that the band had been involved in smuggling explosives across the Irish border. The band reformed in 1976 but would disband in 1982, later reuniting and reforming. The Miami Showband played their final gig in 2015. {
