Is it for a pub gig OP?

Hermitage Green seen to be getting tons of gigs around town so they must be good

Rugby jocks with guitars. They are good at what they do but there isn't much artistic credibility to them.

Not sure that's fair, bit of a sweeping statement. I went to see them in Jerry Flannery's court yard and they really blew me away. Their covers really put their own twist on things, the use of the slide guitar and even a didgeridoo (spelling) at one stage were excellent. Was also quite surprised by the variety of people in the crowd. All age groups!

Youtube their latest video released called "Gibson". Quite an original sound for a band that does a lot of covers.

Loads of great bands in Limerick across alot of genres at the minute. I'll try list off some of the top of my head but it's impossible to remember them all!
I'll start with the more indie/alt rock/punk stuff. All originals bands here, personally I don't really care for covers bands.

Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters
Dead Red Light
Hip Neck Blues Collective
Leading Armies
Drea
Birdthistle
Campaign LK
Blackroad
Rogue
Benoit
Protobaby
Brendam Markham (solo and with band)
Paddy Mulcahy/No Land Folk
Windings
Built for Comfort
Animal Beats
Glaad Occurs
Kiernan Mcmullan
Great in Small Doses
Fat Baby Panda
Very Angry Girls
Sky Harbor
Mark O Connor
Last Days of Death Country
We Come in Pieces
Carpe Diem
If Memory Serves
We Should Be Dead (maybe defunct)

Hard Rock/Metal wise there's a thriving scene at the minute with alot of the local Limerick bands getting called up for good support slots in Dublin and plenty of gigs happening across a few different venues here. Here's a list of these bands that I know are active at the minute.

Shardborne
Three Hour Ceasefire
Dark Matter
Zealot Cult
Dirty Diamonds
Iron Mountain
Astal Gardens
SeaDog

Lots of ones missing there, I didn't include any bands that haven't gigged recently to my memory and there's alot of side projects and short projects that only lasted a few gigs that I didn't include. Also left off bands that are mainly covers that do a handful of originals. I didn't put up much in the way of Singer Songwriters either because there's millions of them and most aren't really worth mentioning!

Also for people looking for places to see original music the best spots are
Dolans( all genres), The Blind Pig( Rock and Metal), The Office/Courtyard(Tuesdays, Commercial rock), Baker Place ( all genres-when it's open), Bourkes( laid back rock/funk) and sometimes Cobblestone Joes( acoustic, rock)

There's alot of places like Smyths, Nancys, Flannerys, Scotts, Mollys that do have bands but they're all covers outfits that may the odd time do an original, different type of gig entirely I think.
