You're right - a well known musical family; the Fitzgerald's from Bundoran opened music stores in Sligo and Monaghan before opening a store in Main Street in 1973, run by Peter Doherty, a Donegal Senior Footballer and Kevin McNicholas, Musician. Henry McGlade worked there for a period before opening his own store in Ellison Street in Sept. 1979. Fitzgerald's closed in 1982 and by that time, Henry and Sounds Supreme (Tommy Staunton) located in the Arcade were still operating.
