The Miami Showband Massacre: Memory, Truth and Legacy

In this intimate conversation, Stephen Travers sits down with Frank Shouldice to discuss his book The Bass Player: Surviving the Miami Showband Massacre —a deeply personal account of a night that changed everything, and the decades of personal struggle that followed. Travers reflects on survival amid senseless violence, the emotional and moral weight of memory, and the long pursuit of truth in the shadow of The Troubles. As a journalist and as a producer/director with the RTÉ Investigations Unit, Frank Shouldice has the necessary skills and expertise to create a space for a powerful dialogue on justice, resilience and reconciliation, as Stephen Travers not only confronts the past, but explores the possibility of healing and peace beyond it.
