Do you have Cash in your attic? RTÉ is seeking home-movie footage of Johnny Cash from his tour in Ireland in 1963 and fans of the country music star to feature in a brand new TV documentary.
Were you lucky enough to see the international country sensation during his legendary tour of Ireland when he played in small venues across Ireland?
At 31 years of age, Johnny Cash had sold 11 million records and had played the biggest venues throughout America, so why did he travel the national highways and byways to play ballrooms in Cavan, Dundalk, Mallow, Limerick, Kilkenny, Mullingar, Athy, Galway, Rush and the National Stadium Dublin?
Johnny Cash travelled around Ireland with the love of his life June Carter, who he later married, and supporting them were the Showband, Eileen Reid and The Cadets.
If you think you have film footage or momentoes, or if you saw Johnny perform in 1963, then we'd like to hear from you. Please contact RTÉ at docresearch@rte.ie or phone 01 208 3519.
