Who are your favourites?
Ireland is a country with a fine musical tradition and some amazing bands, singers and musical talents have been the deserving recipients of acclaim at home and abroad over the years.
There are a lot of bands, however, who mightn’t always get the credit they deserve and one of the hottest Irish groups of the last few years, Delorentos, sought to do something about it earlier today.
A simple tweet and a hashtag from the band and all of a sudden everyone was offering their two cents and giving some great groups and musicians a much deserved day in the sun.
We would now like to spend 15 minutes telling you about brilliant Irish bands, who are brilliant. all RT's& comments greatly appreciated. 🙂
