The Conquerors | Ireland's Premier Wedding & Corporate Entertainers

Good music can mean the difference between a good wedding and an unforgetable wedding and The Conquerors are the band to make that difference. The Conquerors are still regarded as on of the most professional working bands on the entertainment scene and have always believed in recording first class records throughout the years as far back as their first number 1 "Baby Blue".

The Conquerors have managed to hold their own over the years, the formula is simple "give the crowd what they want, good music, first class presentation and a good friendly attitude".

The Conquerors specialise in corporate functions and the wedding market and have now introduced the lovely Lorraine McDonald as lead vocalist and sax player to the band.

Ronan will also sing his Tribute’s to Joe Dolan and Dickie Rock.
CRYSTAL SWING.
The terrific Family Group from Cork who are a sensation around the world! Number One with “The Hucklebuck” and “He Drinks Tequila” Rarely off our TV screens and never out of the press!

The big sound of The Conquerors Showband.
One of the greatest Showbands of them all and still packing them in everywhere they go. The Galway boys sang “Baby Blue” and many more.
Des Lee from The Miami Showband.
Des took over as Lead Singer after the tragic death of Fran O’Toole. Undoubtedly the biggest drawing band in Ireland throughout the 70’s. Des wrote “Clap Your Hand Stamp Your Feet” one of their many hit records.
Eurovision stars Tommy and Jimmy Swarbrigg.
They performed for Ireland in 1975 and 1977. 20 hit records throughout their career, including “Looking Through The Eyes Of A Beautiful Girl” If Ma Could See Me Now” It’s Nice To Be In Love Again” “That’s What Friends Are For” etc.
The very first showband singers to write and record all of their own material.
Lorraine McDonald.
Lorraine is one of the brightest talents to emerge from the latter days of the Showband Boom. Ex The Showband Show.

D J Curtin
Now Las Vegas based. Former Lead singer with The Kerry Blues Showband. Still has a great big voice which can cover everything from Tom Jones to Englebert Humperdinck.

The show’s exciting finale is an All Cast Salute To The Exciting Showband Era. All of the cast join up in a medley of songs from the unique Showband Years!
It will send you home with great memories of a magical and never to be repeated time in Irish popular music!

    Just a comment on the performance of the band
    on TG4 from the Quays in Galway, some months
    ago...I was simply appalled that one of the
    older members of the band hogged the mike practically full time, while Lorraine was demoted to harmony vocals...Being in the music business all my life...sure... "Nothing ever Changes" !!!!! Mike hoggers just eventually fall into their coffins, not realising their stupidity....I've come across them all my life !!!!
