Irish Rockers featured in Hot Press magazine!
A small piece about the Irish Rockers website was published in the 8th May 2008 Edition of Ireland's biggest selling music magazine, Hot Press.
The article states:
"Started in 2003 by Irish web designer and music fan, Aidan Curran, as a database of the most notable Irish bands, both past and present, the site aims to be the 'ultimate online resource and referance' for Irish bands and artists.
It also has some interesting promotional opportunities for upcoming artists, including a gig guide, artist news section and a forum. If you are an artist that is not included in their list, you may want to request to be included."
Irish Bands and Irish Rock Music Throughout The Decades
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, bands/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/bands 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 show bands 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 band 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.
