IrishRockers.com is back bigger and better than before after moving to a new web hosting solution that can handle the increasing volume of traffic

Apologies to all site visitors who have been turned away recently due to us surpassing the daily bandwidth limit allocated to the
site. The good news that we can take from this is that it's a sign that the site is getting more popular. In the run up to
St. Patrick's day the quest for all things Irish is also adding to the traffic. We are currently taking measures to remedy the
situation - in the short run reducing page and image sizes (which will also make the site faster to load) and looking into
alternative hosting solutions for the long term. Please bear with us and we hope to have this situation resolved soon.
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, 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.
