Re: Mix-tapes?

Ill put Fionn Regan's album up now, I agree with you that his song is really amazing. The Cake Sale song, Gary Lightbody is one of my heros so that song is probably one of my all-time favourites. But the best song on that playlist to me is deffinately ...

Hey look at me, I am a full member me, I mixed up the ratings 

General Gigs Talk

So did nobody go to the Jung Turks gig in Mullingar on Sunday ?  The irony of it is, we drove past the exit on our way back to Dublin, but had other arrangements for that night and were flying the next day so would have had to stay in a hotel there too...

Re: Stamps Collection

Back when the old Horslips GB was admiring Aidan's stamps and his Horslips feature, I pointed out that Horslips COULD be on a stamp quite quickly. The USPS has partnered with Stamps.com[/ur...

For a small country Ireland has made and continues to make a huge impact on modern music. With a population of just around 5 million people, Ireland has launched more than it's share of internationally successfull, yet originally Irish, rock groups and artists on the world.

The homegrown Irish rock music scene really started developing in the 1960s. At that time the Irish music scene was dominated by the unique Irish phenomenon of the 'Showbands' which were groups of professional performers who played at dancehalls and clubs across the country putting on a professional 'show' and playing all the American and British hits of the era. In the 1960s this was pretty much the only way a professional musician in Ireland could make a living. Two famous Irish artists that started off working in showbands but went on to put Ireland on the map as far as rock music is concerned are Van Morrison and Rory Gallagher. Van Morrison achieved international success in the 1960s with the beat group Them before launching a hugely successfull solo career that is still going strong in it's fourth decade. Rory Gallagher fromed the blues rock trio Taste and went on to achieve critical acclaim in his solo career which lasted until his death in 1995. He is considered by many music critics to be among the greatest rock guitarists of all time.

Loved this band so much as a kid. They used to spend the summer in a holiday park across the road from where I lived. Used to hang outside on their porch and listen to them jam on acoustic guitars. Cool guys. I was about 10. Wow.

Another superb album from a band featured on the jukebox.A must for any Pink Floyd fans.If anyone should take over,then it might as well be them.Some sounds also remind me of the Ozric Tentacles, one of my bands when I was young.

I really liked the song from Simple Kid here and all the stuff on MySpace sounds really good, good lead to a CD purchase. He has a very professional MySpace site and has done out his main website in the same style, worth checking out.

I purchased "Euphobia" and am quite enjoying it. Rocks good and hard up front, then starts taking on more layers as they introduce mandolins, piano, and so forth. Where are the shows???
