Hitchers. Liver - brilliant. Strachen song - genius. Only two among a lot of brilliant songs. Youtube them. Well worth a listen.


Think the lead guy is going by the name theme tune boy or something of the sort. More good tracks there.

There was a band around 2002/3 that I thought were very good. One of the band members was a lecturer in LIT - sound man too.

Woodstar is the band your thinking of me thinks definitely my favorite Limerick band

They never had a commercial release so I doubt many will remember them, but my own favorite was definitely The Coup, back around '89 to '91 or so. I was friends with one of them so had (still have) their demos and some live recordings.

A few years later and I also liked Hatch 77, who had sort of a jangly Wedding Present style to them, plus Giveamanakick who I suppose were reasonably well known at the time.

Any one old enough to remember Reform or Grannies Intentions

The O' Malley Brothers and their famous dog "Bollocks" :cool:

Insect Overlord

Will I be chased out of here if I mention Hermitage Green?

The Funk Junkies are phenomenal, but as they don't perform their own material they might not belong in this thread.

Sadly I do remember both reform and grannies intentions lol the O Malleys were and are Limerick legends lol can I just state I was dragged out to pubs from a very early age by my older siblings. I looked older but they never checked anyway in those days. You could go in to Buddy's in your school uniform lol That's the ONLY reason I know those bands and really Grannies were actually before my time but I knew the name lol Now delighted I clarified that. Bet everyone else is too lol

Reform & Gimik. Jon Kenny was the lead singer with Gimik and I'm sure I still have a single they released in '77 or '78 called "Dancehall Queen". Reform entered the competition in Ireland to go forward to the Eurovision with a song called ( I think) "You gotta get up".

They was a band from Newcastlewest called Rock The Joint who used to play in Ballybunion during the summer months, rock-trad combo, they were excellent. Think it was around 1996/1997.

Saw the lead singer Brendan something or other singing in an Irish Pub in Paris in 2006 but that's the last I saw of them.

ffs. I'm surprised they haven't jumped on the Boston bombing bandwagon and written a song about it, seeing as it's whatever is in the media they latch on to. Worst thing is, they are raking in the $$$$
