Jan 5th 2005: Charlie Conlon passed away
 
A retired member of the band passed away on the 1st of January. Charlie Conlon joined the band 70 years ago, when he was just 13, and played the drums until he fell ill about two and a half years ago. He was the longest serving member of the band and will be sorely missed by those who knew, and played, with him.
 
Charlie was removed to St. Matthew's Church, Ballyfermot, on the 4th and was buried in Palmerstown Cemetary the following day. The band would like to extend their sympathies to Charlie's family on this sad occasion.
 
Charlie Conlon 1921-2005, R.I.P.
