| In the late 1950's a young Newry band called 'The Rhythm Aces', decided to ask a local ballroom owner and dance promoter, Malachy O'Neill, to manage the band. Malachy agreed but only on the condition that he would augment the band with some up-and-coming musicians from the local music scene and change the band's name to The Hilton Showband. | |
