Oonagh's story could fill a book; she had many stories to tell, many of them rip-roaring. When she met Ronan she was managing a band that were at number one in the charts, the Temperance 7 no less! Oonagh didnt melt away on 14th August 67 but ran the covert office in Soho, where DJs such as Andy Archer, Steve Merike, Bid Ballou, etc were hired. She was certainlyrunning the show when I first met her in 1970 at Hayes Mews and continued to do so til late in the 70s. Following the court case in France she joined Richard Laren (Lightning records) to run Old Gold. Her periods of apparent absence were when she was deep under-cover. She was a very private lady who didnt shout about her work, but she was undoubtedly the First Lady of Caroline . Think of her doting husband Sonny who faces his twilight years without the love of his life |
