"My Father Seamus Browne owned a Ballroom in Lifford, Co. Donegal in 1950/60’s and had many famous dance and show bands. The Platters and Acker Bilk played. The Clipper Carlton, & the Royal Show Band, to name a few. I have been told that it was so popular that with buses bringing crowds from Tyrone, Derry & beyond. The local parish priests at the time condoned the youth visiting such Ballrooms. It is reported, that a girl said she saw the Devil in the mirror of ladies toilets and this changed the fortunes of the Mecca Ballroom in Lifford. "
