The Pacific Showband were a popular Irish showband group in the 1960s. They were formed as a result of some members leaving the Earl Gill Orchestra and deciding to form their own band.[1] They had a number of hits during the 1960s. They released 20 singles from 1964 to 1970 on the Pye Records and Tribune Records labels.[2] In 1968, Peter Law joined the band as a vocalist.[1] The following year the band undertook their first tour of Canada,[1] touring that country several more times before moving there permanently in 1971 and changing their name to Dublin Corporation.[3] Under their new name, they had chart hits in Canada with "Melting Pot" and "Come and Join Us", and released the album Limited on Arc Records in 1973.[1] Although they never released any further albums or singles, they remained active for a number of years thereafter as a touring band. Law and his wife, Barbara Dixon of the pop trio Maxi, Dick and Twink, also performed separately as co-vocalists for the band Sweet Chariot.[4] Past members
