Johnny Cash appeared in the Cloudland ballroom in Rooskey in 1968. He never mentioned the LHOP.

There is a really good Rte doc on one about that tour. I think he played in the Adelphi in Dublin. He was is full flow at about 10.25 with the crowd loving it when half the audience up and left to catch the last bus, leaving a bemused Man in Black behind them.

Aye. My aunt’s husband works as an engineer with them, and there’s only ever Heineken and Coors in their house to drink (alcohol wise) #brandloyal

Johnny Cash appeared in the Cloudland ballroom in Rooskey in 1968. He never mentioned the LHOP. The place was wedged. Rooskey was the mecca of socialising in that era.

He played around a few ballrooms in West Tipp and East Limerick in the late 80s during a doldrum in his career.

I was in England in the late 60’s and came home one year to find a one-eyed parishioner driving a relatively new Cortina. When querying this I was informed he was now a director in Hanleys bacon factory. I was flabbergasted for a while until it was explained that he merely pointed the pigs down the chutes. Oul’ Petey Hanley was a good sort.
