This night was definitely a night to remember!  The night was in tribute to TREV FLEMING (guitarist for SWEET SAVAGE) who passed away last year, and TOMMY McMANUS (drummer for the MAMA’S BOYS) who passed away 17 years ago.  Organised by Aidan Donnelly and team, classic acts were brought

together for a what would be the greatest rock show in history!

The night kicked off with the STEVIE K BAND, didn’t capture any photos of the band.

Next up were MILLION DOLLAR RELOAD.

After the M$R boys were SWEET SAVAGE.  A really touching performance for them as they pay tribute to their dear friend Trev with a collection of videos (including a tribute from Vivian Campbell), special guests and a powerful performance!

Just as Pat finished his set, we were embraced with a performance to end all performances, as onto the stage came the one, the only, JOHN McMANUS!  FOr the first time in 17 years, we had the legendary Irish rock band THE MAMA’S BOYS, set to perform a number of classic Mama’s Boys tracks.

This really was the performance of the century! A great tribute to some local rockers and a brilliant way to show respect!
