has been two and a half years in the making. In 1958, The Lucey
Brothers (Jerry, Murt and
Michael)
fied Redbarn beach in Youghal as the
identi- ideal
location to build a holi- day home and ballroom. Driven by their pas- sion and love of music such acts as Jim Reeves, Chubby Checker, Billy Furey, Millie Small (My boy lollipop) Marianne Faithful, The Shadows, Joe Frazier, The Hors- lips, Mud, Rory Gal- lagher and many, many
more thrilled audiences at Youghal. The dance- hall was also home to the extraordinary showband explosion with regular visits from The Clipper Carlton, The
Miami,
The Victors, The Fresh- men, The Royal and The Big 8, The Cadets, Red Hurley, Colm Wilkinson, Dickie Rock, Larry Cun- ningham, Joe Dolan and the Drifters, The Dixies, Gina and the Champi- ons and many more. This was a unique mo-
ment in Irish social his- tory when 3,000 people packed into the hall just the dance. The Ballroom was the epicentre for a social phenomenon that witnessed Ireland move into a brighter future, an inclusive

of young people packing into cars, ‘sneaking out’ and hitching to Youghal, riding bikes, walking miles upon miles to the venue and home again along the country roads and along the beach in the small hours. In 1978, following ex- refurbishment,
the Redbarn Ballroom was burned in an ar- son attack. Overnight, the centre of thousands of lives was gone up in flames. The documentary will this highly ro-

family. The story will be told through the music and the images with ar- chive
footage bringing
the memories to life. This will be the story of a generation who were the last in Ireland to come together in such an extraordinary way that will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it nor never to be repeated. Director, Michael
Twomey said the film will be like
rebuilding
the dancehall. ‘I think the audience will feel that they are right back in that world when they hear the stories, see the clips and hear the music again on the big screen. Making the film felt a bit like rebuilding the place because there is nothing left of it but memories. I think it will be emotional for a lot of the audience
in that regard. It was a very special period in Irish history because of the sheer volume of people that went there. That sort of social inter- action is virtually impos- sible now, certainly not in those numbers. That generation interacted in a way that generations after didn’t. Its almost
story is antiquated for
those who didn’t experi- ence it directly and that’s what fascinates and it’s the reason the film was made, I think now is the right time to make it, and it’s got a brilliant soundtrack.’ Tickets for the screen-
ing are €10 and available from the Walter Raleigh Hotel and Cree’s Card Shop, Youghal. Enquir- ies can be sent to com- pletecontrolfilms@
