The last few years have been an exceptionally healthy time in Irish music. Hundreds of bands are playing all around the country and many are touring and making headway internationally. The aim of this book is to tell you everything you want to know about your favourite Irish bands and to put on record, the new Irish Headliners, the bands filling venues, receiving awards and enjoying critical acclaim right now. Their full history, their pictures, their stories, their successes to date and their plans for the future. A snapshot of a scene, of various scenes, of an exciting time in new Irish music. Everyone writes about U2, Thin Lizzy, the Horselips, but no one has written about all the current buzz bands packing out Whelans and the Roisin Dubh, the Olympia and the Marquee. Bands like Bell X1, Republic of Loose, the Blizzards, the Coronas, Fight Like Apes, Cathy Davey and Jape and latest sensation the Villagers. One of these bands may be the next U2 or even better. All of them have their own voice, style and following.
