THURSDAY
Carlt
and in Zurich
One of the biggest attract-
ions to hit Zurich in many years
is scheduled for next Wednesday
night, July 18, when the Carl-
ton Showband, of Fig 'n'Whistle
fame, will be making a person-
al appearance in the Zurich
Arena. 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 -

tons have trod the travel trail
for seven years and today remain
more than mere business assoc-
iates --they're a group of close,
personal friends.
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.

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.
This rare consideration has
earned them respect for both
their music and thoughtfulness.
