Dickie Rock in the Olympia on the 17th or this......I hate when gigs are too close together.

dickie will clean up at this now that joe dolan is gone.

man he cleaned up years ago, just finished reading a book about irish showbands and during the 60's they were raking in an incredible amount. By the mid 60's there was about 800 showbands, with the each band earning 200-250 irish punts a week. The average weekly wage back then was 5 punts. So If you have 8 (the usual amount) in a band you're talking about 30quid per member per week. So basically in todays terms that would mean some of the bands were earning the equivalent of 20,000euro plus a week!

I'll stop now

Ah but now you're forgetting about Dickie's San Fran show band days too. I'd say that earned him a bit more and I believe he's a tight bollox.
