#OTD in 1975 – Miami Showband massacre | UVF volunteers (some of whom were also UDR soldiers) shot dead three members of an Irish showband at Buskhill, Co Down.

Three members of the Miami Showband are killed by Ulster Volunteer Force members posing as members of the security forces when returning from a performance at The Castle Ballroom in Banbridge, Co Down. (Four of the killers were actually members of the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR), an official reserve force for the British army). At the time, the Miami Showband were one of the most popular…

So life got busy for me this year (graduated college, moved into my first apartment and have been working a full-time job, but that doesn't mean I've been completely unable to draw. I just haven't had as much time or motivation to do it as much I would like T_T

Anyway, my friend @gizmocrate-werecrow and I have a Pokemon AU and one of the many, MANY rock stars we've decided to include is Fran O'Toole. Most of you wouldn't have heard of him, but that's okay (I'm used to my obsessions being on the niche side at this point). My impetus for including him (and the rest of the Miami) in this AU was that they really, REALLY deserved better.

(L-R: Stephen Travers, Tony Geraghty, Ray Millar, Brian McCoy, Fran O'Toole, and Des Lee)

I know that giving Fran a pumpkaboo is probably a bit of an oddball move considering he is a dog person (one of the handful of details of his actual life I've been able to dig up), but at the time we made that choice, we didn't know much about these guys. And let's be real, even knowing that now, I'd make the same choice all over again.

Her name is Pumpykins btw. I know Pumpkaboos don't technically have pawsies, but I'm a cat person irl so I wanted them anyway. That and I was also taking a lot of cues from people who draw Pumpkaboos as "cats living in floating pumpkins." Pumpykins herself is a bit mischievous, and also loves snuggles (kinda like my parents' cat Willow, who loves hanging out with me, or at least in my old room).

Also while I technically finished this on the anniversary of the massacre, this was actually me redrawing a sketch I'd done a month prior with a set of markers I got at Walmart.

Turns out using a reference (or at least a better light source) does wonders for my drawing. But the main reason Fran went from blond in one drawing to brunette in the finished product is because the colorization in various photos can be a bit... inconsistent.

A good way to drive perfectionists like me insane.

Edendork Dance Hall, nestled in the rural village of Edendork just outside Dungannon, was a vibrant cornerstone of the community for decades. Originally opened in September 1950 as St. Malachy’s Parochial Hall, it quickly evolved into a beloved venue for socialising and entertainment, showcasing the best of Ireland’s showbands during the 1960s and 1970s.

However, as the landscape of entertainment shifted and larger venues emerged, the hall fell into disrepair, a poignant reminder of a bygone era. After years of deterioration and a wave of criticism over its planned demolition, Edendork Dance Hall was ultimately reduced to rubble in October 2024, marking the end of a cherished chapter in the community’s history. Its legacy, however, remains alive in the memories of those who danced beneath its roof.

Merci Beaucoup at the Stardust, May 1975. The Irish Showband. Bare Touch of Vegas. Silver City Casino in the month it opened. Construction crane working on Riviera’s Monte Carlo Tower in the background.

Nevada Gaming Commission voted in May 1975 to allow casinos to install sports and race book operations on the same premises as live gaming. Harrah’s Club in Reno and Union Plaza in Las Vegas opened sports books that summer. Frank Rosenthal opened Stardust’s race book 9/8/75.
