Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

Re: Musical Bands

Hi Mauri,

I don't think the Richardson family from the Longstone were related.

Hi Mauri and Tom,

I joined the CLB 1945/46 and joined the band 1949. Hoping like you Mauri to become a drummer, instead I became a bugler. I was good enough to win the silver bugle and band cup several times, and as Tom mentioned we had a great time playing Last Post on Remembrance Sunday. Great Memories.

Mauri,

That was great craic about you and your buddies on a wild weekend in Hong Kong, you certainly piled a lot o adventure in your time in the services.

Hi Donald,

I think the older brother Bobby played Hockey for Lisnagarvey, am I right??? I didn't know him personally. There was another Jim Richardson who worked with my brother in Mackies he was also related.

Re: Musical Bands

Hi Donald,

You are spot on, Jim Richardson did live in Lambeg. All these families lived originally in the railway cottages in Derriaghy, grandparents and great grandparents etc.
