Dave Haslam, Dandeloin and many other stalwarts from that era are on the decks.
There’s talks on Karl Marx and his Irish connections, the sinking of the RMS Leinster whose centenary falls on October 10th, Hitler’s women pilots in the Third Reich, women in Hollywood in the ‘30s, as well as a star turn by our very own Brian McMahon.
