Eddie Mcgarry dance band
 

Hi everyone. I'm Angelflower and just joined the site. I am looking for as much information as I can get on Eddie Mcgarry and his dance band. I have been reading some posts that have given me lots of info on various members of the band. If anybody has anything they can tell me I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi are you a family member Angelflower? I think I may have a bit of info for you.
