Moygashel [1] [2] is a small village and townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is near the southern edge of Dungannon. Although the village's name is pronounced (moy-gashel), the trademark of the Irish linen named after it is pronounced (moy-ga-shell).[3]
One of the bombers killed in the Miami Showband massacre, Wesley Somerville—who was an Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) member—was from Moygashel.[4] He is commemorated by a plaque and banner in the village.[5]
