Episode 95 – Ahoghill Loyal Sons of William Flute Band: 40 Years on Parade 🎶
Special Guest: Mervyn Stirling

In this episode of Made to Parade, we’re joined by Mervyn Stirling from the Ahoghill Loyal Sons of William Flute Band as the band marks its 40th anniversary in 2025.

Formed in 1985, LSOW has grown into a respected name in the blood and thunder scene, with a proud legacy of parading, musical tradition, and community spirit. Mervyn takes us on a journey through the band’s history—from its humble beginnings to its standout performances across Northern Ireland—and gives us an inside look at what makes LSOW such a special group.

We chat about memorable moments, how the band has evolved, the importance of youth involvement, and how they plan to celebrate 40 years on parade.
