Welcome once more to a green festival of music! This is mainly for the pleasure of our friends in the eIrish community who are not real-life irish. Below is a selection of Irish musicians from the 70's through to modern day.
This is a continuation of a previous article, here where other artists were suggeste😛 The Saw Doctors for Gordongekko and Rory Gallagher for Frommfilm and clownprince.

I've done a workaround on the links so there's no longer any need to copy and paste the links........ just click on the image of the video coz that's where the link is!!!

Youtube playlist : plays through, less clicking!

In the general timeline of oldest to newest.......


Rory Gallagher - I fall apart
Suggested by Frommfilm & Clownprince. Hadn't heard much of this guitar legend from Cork before going on a youtube splurge. This song is from his first solo album. To me this song really seems comes from the heart and the performance is amazing.



Sinead O'Connor - Famine
First song of hers I ever heard when my parents used to listen to her.... passionate.
More info



The sawdoctors - I useta lover
Suggested by Gordongekko.Love this song for nostalgias sake mainly!



Aslan - Crazy World
Nostalgia again🙂



Cranberries - Zombie
Awesome video and song from the limerick lads



Cyclefly - Supergod
Two brothers from Midelton, Co. Cork along with French and Italian members created some fantastic rock for awhile. Were famous enough for a feature in the Independent at one stage.... maybe due to touring with Linkin Park.



Rest - Rest go pop
Cork post-rock band (maybe not from cork but gigged there predominately) from their EP Burning in water, drowning in flames.



Cathy Davey - Mr. Kill



Lisa Hannigan - Lille
Mercury music award 2009 nominated artist.... need I say anything else!
