Muriel Day and the Night Squad
Muriel Day ( nee Galway ), from Scrabo Rd. Newtownards just past the Model School, got her start back
in the fifties at such places as the Guild Hall and Orange Hall when they used to have musical concerts there.
She also worked behind the counter of Cecil Wilsons in Conway Square prior to her rise to fame in the music business.


OFF TO CANADA  !!

The band was formed at the end of 1970 with the express purpose of "touring CAN. & the U.S." for 3
months. We set off from Aldergrove on my birthday, February 1971. after only TWO months we found
we were booked at various clubs right up to the end of the year !! and this was only Ontario, much
less the rest of Canada or the U.S.  !!  (California would have to wait).   the band comprised 3 from
the Dave Glover Band, 2 from the Rumble Band, and one from the Cousins. it stayed intact in that
format through `71 and most of `72.
