ENTERTAINERS
It's summertime here in Antrim and we are at the back of the Antrim Arms Hotel in 1939.
These jolly chaps with their straw hats were the entertainers for the tourists that stayed in the hotel.
They kept the tourists happy not only in the evenings but during the day, the reason for five was some would go on a sight seeing trip by bus while others
would go on cruises on Lough Neagh while others just stayed at the hotel and they all had to be entertained. Sadly none of the lads names are known.
