Magherafelt Memories.: Growing up in the 70's and 80's.

Product Information

I often wonder if the farmer who was my pipe band tutor and Vince McCusker hadn’t been so brilliant on their chosen instrument, would I have persevered a bit longer. I figured, if I had, I might also have developed a couple of successful dance moves of my own. McEvoy could well be pushed onto Emmett Bradley around the middle - allowing the in-form Danny Heavron more freedom to roam - with Dan Higgins an aerial match for Glass in the same sector. Up top, Shane Heavron has been shooting the lights out.

WEIR – The Worshipful Master, Officers and Brethren of the above Lodge deeply regret the passing of Mrs Roberta Weir, sister of members Bros Cecil and William Brown and extend their sympathy to the rest of the Brown and Miller Family Circle. On the way across to the rural dance hall, my mate Seamus Mitchell had talked me through the whole ritual of what I needed to do. My task, if I chose to accept it, was to blag the last dance from my preferred dance partner, before anyone else had a chance to muscle in and steal my thunder. Sadly, maybe ‘steal my whisper’ would have been more accurate. Even then, when Seamus and his girlfriend spotted that my priorities lay elsewhere, the lady in question persuaded her younger sister, Maureen, to take me on a few circuits of the dance floor.

Magherafelt High School flourished under his leadership and he was a great ambassador for the school. He transmitted his love for Golf to many and encouraged teams to take part in competitions. He worked tirelessly for the school community until his retirement in 1994 due to ill health. He was also just a brilliant dad who supported my brother David and I in everything that we did and we have so many wonderful memories together. Others have taken to social media to pay tribute to David saying that he was a "true gentleman" who would be sorely missed by his former colleagues and pupils. For instance, maybe I would have mastered swaggering on the spot the way pipers in a marching band do, when they remain stationary, marking time, to the beat of the big drum, while playing their pipes.
