Miami Showband Massacre survivor Stephen Travers has revealed the emotional damage inflicted by the 1975 attack.
ReMastered: The Miami Showband Massacre, explores the horrific events which saw five people gunned down including three members of the band in Co Down on July 31.
Travers, one of the survivors of the attack, featured in the Netflix documentary, which premiered on Friday.
An emotional Travers confessed that he thought of his bandmates who died as “the lucky ones”.
He told the Ray D’Arcy show: “Sometimes, you wake up in the morning and it's like Groundhog Day and you think; 'Do I have to think about this?', because people talk about flashbacks - I don't have flashbacks.
"The thing is always in front of you. It's part of your life, and it's a life that you don't want to lead sometimes, but without my wife and my daughter, I don't think I'd be here."
Miami Showband, who were often referred to as “The Irish Beatles”, were hugely popular.
And out of the six members two were Protestants and the rest were Catholic.
Fran O’Toole, Brian McCoy, and Tony Geraghty were killed in the attack while Des Lee, Ray Miller, and Travers survived.
In fact Travers revealed in the documentary that he didn’t see Catholic or Protestant faces when on stage, just people who wanted to enjoy themselves.
Travers also revealed that he obtained a letter from the UVF saying that MI5 had asked them to assassinate Charlie Haughey.
He said in the documentary: “There's a letter that has been in possession of the Irish government for the past 30 years, from the UVF, telling the Irish government that MI5 had asked the UVF if they would assassinate Charlie Haughey.
“They were telling our government about this because they wanted to let the government know that they didn't want any hand, act or part in it.”
