It’s with a feeling of nostalgia I write the following post. Deepest condolences to the Kieran’s family on the sad passing of Dominic Kierans
Know to us as Domie
Domie was a dedicated member of the band for many years. He held office of Chairperson ,Secretary and Treasurer and was a great mentor to many over the years.
Rest in eternal peace

It’s with deep sadness we would like to extend our sympathy to the Birmingham family on the sudden passing of former Lord Mayor Cllr Brian Birmingham.
Brian was a great friend to the band down through the years.
I have attached a video of the unveiling of the plaques to both the Buttera and Barracka back in 2009.
It was almost joyous historical day for us.
To Brian’s family we expend our deepest sympathy.

Short Film that captures the unveiling of plaques to celebrate two of Ireland's most famous bands - Barrack Street Band and Butter Exchange Band.
