Phoenix Park concert

24/05/1979 Silks Nightclub, Phoenix Park with The Strougers, The Letters, Romanics.
Hailing from the Navan Road, the Bunko Squad played gigs at the Navan Road School Hall, Silk’s nightclub & the Baggot Inn. They were great supporters of “The Strougers” in their early days. The band rehearsed in Tommy’s garage & played Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy & Fleetwood Mac covers. They would later drop the second guitarist John Furlong & become (around 1979) The Population.
