Favourite Irish/Northern Irish bands/acts

[voltanapricot]

I'd would have to say my favourites are Therapy? and Stiff Little Fingers.

If you haven't tasted SLF, get hold of 'Each Dollar A Bullet' (personal favourite) and it'll get you tinglin' and burnin' for more of this band. (y)

So, anyone else fan of musicians from the Emerald Isle?

I've been thinking about getting something by SLF lately. Course I have no money at the moment. :(

Saw Therapy? live twice, great stuff. Flogging Molly is a fun band to see live but on a whole different level.

Can I smack the first person to say U2 on the wrist? ;)

Gay eh? I was going to say "on the back of the head" but I thought that was a tad too harsh.

Ah well, I'm straight, U2 sucks, my world still makes sense :D

The Pogues aren't bad.

[b-grrrlie]

I really liked U2 in the early 80's.
And I really liked Therapy? in the 90's, won a MTV competition as well to see them in Dublin and hang out with them afterwards. I'd already met them several times, and met them afterwards, and they never remembered me.... Now I didn't even bother to go to see them when they played here a few months ago.

Also Stiff Little Fingers were big faves, had the Inflammable Material painted on my wall back in '79.

Others:
Undertones (of course!)
Virgin Prunes
Thin Lizzy
Sinead O'Connor
Boomtown Rats
the Frank and Walters
Sultans of Ping FC


and An Emotional Fish!!!!! Fucking great!!!!
