But it was a shocker back in the day.

A shocker.

There was like protests outside that it was blasphemous and it was awful and blah, blah, blah, right?

Yeah, but that's where we came from.

So we went to see Jesus Christ Superstar and we loved it.

And then the following year, Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat opened.

So again, we went and my mother fell in love with the fact that my mother was happily married to my father, but she fell in love with the fellow who played.

Who was the fellow who played the Elvis fella in Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat?

I have no idea.

Anyway, the fellow who played whoever it was.

My brain is furiously trying to figure it out and it will in a minute.

But anyway, so he was a fellow called Cairo Doherty, right?

And it's played as an Elvis kind of character, right?

And he does, he sings an Elvis-y kind of song.

And my mother thought this was brilliant.

So Cairo Doherty had a show band, because show bands were big at the time, called the Dazzle Band.

So my mother decided we should go and see the Dazzle Band.

So we started to go and see.

We were groupies.

We started to go and see the Dazzle Band every time they played anywhere in Dublin.
