A film maker is on the hunt for images and archive film from Bailieboro from the 1980s and 1990s.
Documentary maker Frank Shouldice returns to Bailieboro for another Cavan story with a difference, following his international aclaimed film the man who wanted to fly.
For the past three years Frank has been working on his new film which traces the life and times of four-piece band The Sons of Southern Ulster.
Justin Kelly, David Meagher, Paddy Glackin and the late Noel Larkin first formed as The Panic Merchants in Bailieboro in the mid-1980s. Frank revealed the film is now in the edit stage and is on the lookout archive film and photos from the town. The film looks at the bands life and how they started out in Bailieboro and now write songs about growing up back then.
The band’s songs include references to places like The Hideout, The Oasis nightclub, the long-gone Pop Inn chipper. Frank says he would love to find images that locals may have of the main street in the Cavan town. If anyone can help, Frank can be reached by email at [email protected]
