The event is being spon- sored by the Zurich Lions Club, and tickets are still available from any member of the organ- ization. The Carlton Showband can- not be accused of being strictly a one-shot group. Those who have seen the band on television with the highly -popular Pig 'n Whistle show might be led to believe that the Carlton Show - band can play nothing but the lilting Irish jigs and reels and rebel ballads they do so well. But those who have seen the Carlton Showband in concert have been treated to a display of remarkable talent and vers- atility demonstrated across a very broad range of traditional and modern numbers ranging from Ireland of the Middle Ages to the Beatles and the Everly Brothers. Unlike many of their modern contemporaries, the eight mem- bers don't exchange public aff- abilit- for private animosity somewhere between the stage and dressing room. Despite on - tour togetherness, pre -concert nerves and the constant rush of ulcer -inspiring road life, which often conspire to make concert tours endurance tests, the Carl - Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER Caught in a tie-up in hot weather?

Perhaps it's because they've never lost a true "paddy's" love of mixing good times with jovial companians and their life on the road is filled with a series of practical jokes. First one may find himself locked out of a hotel room --with nary a stitch on. Another may well wind up --fully clothed --help- lessly floundering in a hotel's swimming pool. Still another may jump in the same pool -- with bathing trunks on --to find the water slowly turning a deep murkey purple. That's what happens when bathing trunks are pre -dyed in blue - black ink! But life on the road to the Carlton Showband is more than just a wild succession of "gags" n gigs." They're an industrious and serious bunch when it comes to their music. In its seven year. of hitting the concert trail the , JULY 12, 1975 band has neither missed nor been late for any scheduled appearances and members have been known to leave hospital beds, against doctor's orders, in order to fulfill concert com- mittments. Not a group to disappoint aud• iences in any way, the Carlton strive to ensure listeners of their merry brand music are not subject to haphazard sound. Hours prior to any show the eight members make it a pract- ice to spend hours setting up equipment, adjusting tricky sound systems and checking all aspects of accoustics in an attempt to give their audiences the best possible sound value. But it's not only "in concert" audiences who are constantly kept spellbound by the Carlton's bouncy brand of music perform- ed in coast-to-coast cities and towns, Inmates in prisons, hos- pital patients and residents in homes for the aged have often been entertained by the travell- ing troupe.
