Hard to believe! - I dropped on this thread while searching for something completely different (as you do!) - I was in Roscommon at about that time (late 90s), stayed in Athlone and went up to Knockroghery - looked for my father's family home at Gailey Bay (our current Irish terrier is called Gailey) and had a drink in Jimmy Murray's bar where the man himself was still there (looking freakily like my Dad who was born in 1907). We were looking for somewhere to find some music, but no-one mentioned the Roscommon Singers either in Athlone or Knockroghery - pity about that! SJ (aka John Garrick)
