Where Are They Now?
The Story
The first mention we have found of the Gaylords was in April 1961 in
a small advert saying the band were now accepting bookings. Our
research found little else about the band except that their lead
vocalist was Don Murray who was referred to as "Ireland's Mario
Lanza" and in adverts was called "The Voice."
The band appeared to have lasted a long time with
adverts appearing as late as 1973 for the band. The band was
originally from Lurgan but later handouts identify them as being
from Belfast.
