Bandrooms
1850-Present

The Boherbuoy Band was situated in the Castle of Comforts until 1903, when the building was demolished to make way for the new St. Joseph's St. which connects O' Connell Avenue and Edward Street.

Next they moved to a small lane off Boherbuoy, King's Lane and then to site occupied later by the Rangers' Club.

The next shift was to Carey's Road and then to Browne's Place, off Edward Street.

These were some of the earlier places the Band met before moving to their present location. While in this location for some 60 years, the actual hall has changed. The old Bandhall was demolished in 1973 and the present Bandroom was opened in late 1973 by the late Alderman Jim Kemmy, T.D. Indeed Jim Kemmy was to remain Hon. Vice-President of the Band until his death in 1997.

To the right, Jim can be seen helping with the building of the current bandhall.
