A SURVIVING member of the Miami Showband massacre has said it took him five years to write a book on the heinous crime — saying he battled with survivors' guilt for many years after the attack.

Des Lee and Stephen Travers were the only two members of the hit band who survived the horrific slaughter by members of a UVF loyalist paramilitary group on July 31, 1975.

Singer Fran O'Toole, 29, Tony Geraghty, 23, and Brian McCoy, 23, were killed in the attack after the band were travelling back home to Dublin from a gig in the North.
