The soldiers who stopped us on the morning of July, 31st, 1975, didn’t discriminate between Catholics and Protestants, they bombed and shot us all. #MiamiShowbandMassacre

Our phenomenally talented vocalist and keyboard player, Fran O’Toole. One of the nicest people I’ve ever played with. #MiamiShowband

On this day, 47 years ago, twelve-year-old Majella O'Hare was murdered on her way to church. Scrap the British government's #BillOfShame

By the last day in July 1975, the momentum of hate reached such a crescendo that, with my face pressed firmly against the grass and my eyes closed, I had to listen to the jackboot of sectarianism viciously kicking the dead body of my Protestant band-mate to make sure he was dead.
