Tony and the Henry brothers sang at my wedding (1962) and sang a selection from Oklahoma! while we signed the register, which the guests loved. They came to my wedding reception in Ribchester, later in the day, and entertained the guests again - free of charge - so my dad bought them an evening meal and plenty of beer. They were still there when my husband and I left for our honeymoon - and still singing.

Tom Henry had the deepest bass voice I've ever heard. If Thunder could sing, it would sing like him. His brother John was a baritone and Tony Flannegan was a brilliant tenor. Together, they were extraordinary.

I'm afraid Tony Flanagan died about ten years ago. Bernadette is still going strong though. Anthony Flanagan is a friend of mine too and he also has a wonderful singing voice - as does his brother Michael and both their sisters. They are in St Mary's choir now so keeping the tradition going.
