The youngest band during the showband boom was a band from Castlebar
called ‘The Leaders’ Showband,
The five members of the band were: Jimmy Deacy on Drums, who now plays with the Brose Walsh Band, Bob Madden, lead guitar, who now has his own band in Ballina, Joe Berney plays with the big bands in Galway and is very much looking forward to the re-union, Paddy Jordon, who is still very involved with the music scene in America,Stephen, his brother is in the music business in England. The band were managed by the late PJ Hennelly, who was a legend in the business, a great PR Man, who managed to get the band into all the top dance halls of the day, and for many years were a much sought after band. As time went by, like so many other great bands of that era, they called it a day.
