Here’s why everybody was talking about brilliant Irish bands today

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. https://twitter.com/delorentos/status/633595658381991936 https://twitter.com/delorentos/status/633596260310757376 https://twitter.com/The_Strypes/status/633632266263113728 https://twitter.com/gavinjames/status/633719987623084042 https://twitter.com/Kodaline/status/633619797134192640 https://twitter.com/Ham_Sandwich/status/633617467567415297 https://twitter.com/Ham_Sandwich/status/633616780645265408 https://twitter.com/darlingmusic/status/633615704885997568 https://twitter.com/TheAcademic/status/633622900495527936 https://twitter.com/OtherVoicesLive/status/633648303616319491 You can check out loads more suggestions here. https://twitter.com/delorentos/status/633724400521621504 Well done lads, you’re not too bad yourselves.
