About The Bogey Boys
The Bogey Boys were fronted by Navan guitarist Jimmy Smyth (a brother of country singer Gloria). Jimmy, had played in a showband, The Big Valley, in the early/mid 70's. The Bogey Boys featured a rotating rhythm section lineup which included at various times members Donald 'Doish' Nagle (bass), Paul Moran (drums), Davy Watson (bass), Tony Smyth (drums), Neil Whiffen (bass), Iggy Ward (bass). They released a number of singles and 2 albums - Friday Night (1979) and Jimmy Did It! (1980). The Bogey Boys reformed for a the Sportsmans 25 Festival in August 2005.Video

Jimmy played a one off with Deep6 in Newgrange Hotel Navan last Saturday night. A bit ropey at the start as he got used to the guys again but by the 2nd set and Madison Blues he was steaming. Magic - do it again Jimmy.

Great band that I photographed in the Baggot back in the day for an album cover for them...1981/2. Me and my buddy Alan would roar into town on his Yammie 350 and get slaughtered - ahhh the memories.
rc wrote on 2008-09-18 00:00:00:
you can get two tracks "maddison blues" and "still in love with you" on "sunshine nights live at the sportsmans".its an album recorded for the irish hospice foundation. Jimmy sometimes plays with a band called "deep 6" around the navan area.still superb.
