🎧53 Years On: Remembering Mungo Jerry and the Nights at The Showboat
In the summer of 1973, a 12-year-old Michael Lonergan stood among the crowds at Youghal's Showboat as Mungo Jerry brought their worldwide hit In the Summertime to the town. More than five decades later, Michael sat down with Michael Hussey to remember those remarkable nights of music.
In this special audio feature (audio link in comments), Michael Lonergan looks back on the era when the Showboat on the Strand was attracting some of the biggest names in popular music.
From Mungo Jerry and their unforgettable summer anthem to Mud, Thin Lizzy and other popular acts of the era, Michael recalls the excitement of being a young teenager and seeing major British and Irish bands performing in Youghal.
The conversation also takes us back to a very different town — when the Showboat was a major entertainment venue and live music brought people together from Youghal, East Cork, West Waterford and beyond.
Michael Hussey joins Michael for a relaxed conversation about the music, the performers and some of the memories that have remained with him for more than half a century.
There are also some wonderful recollections of The Strand Palace and the Showboat, and the atmosphere surrounding those memorable nights in Youghal.
Turn up the volume, take a trip back to 1973 and let Michael Lonergan take you back to the days when the music came to Youghal.
🎧 Listen to the full 29-minute conversation below.

🎶 OUT TODAY: RYAN PHOENIX – TURN IT AROUND
Today is release day for local singer-songwriter Ryan Phoenix, whose new original single Turn It Around will be available from 8pm tonight.
Ryan wrote the song during a difficult period when he felt mentally and physically exhausted and questioned whether he should continue with music. He turned that experience into an honest and hopeful message:
“It’s never too late to turn it around.”
A lot of hard work, late nights and emotion have gone into this release, so let’s get behind Ryan and help his new single reach as many listeners as possible.
🎧 Available from 8pm tonight on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and other major music platforms.
Have a listen, leave a comment and give it a share to support local music. ❤️🎶 ... See MoreSee Less
