Sean says that Houston Wells performed in Derry and loved the city so much he ended up living with the Duffy family in Stanleys Walk.
Mick McBride remembers Houston Wells living with the Duffys and he formed a band with Richard Duffy and a neighbour, the great Johnny Patterson. Mick also says Stanleys Walk is so called because 'Lecky Rode and Hoggs follied'.
