I don't think you could do an Irish project on the Smiths. I've never heard them being considered Irish depite, that song.

They're an awesome band, I guess you could do some research to find out wether they're Irish or not

And what abour irish folk music...like the Chieftains or the Clannads :)

The Thrills and Van Morrison come to mind. If you need any help let me know.

I like you now Tom. Your knowledge of Irish bands is impressive.

Haha, my band still doesnt have a deal, mainly because there are thousands of bands looking for one and we've been given a chance to negotiate, but I'm in a different country from the other songwriter so we cant meet or anything and I'm unsure of my commitment for the summer.

 

They basically think "We can choose from hundreds of bands that are just as good and a lot more committed, these guys just dont give a fuck" and they are right.

Well just make up a cool story about your band and he/she can right a report on it.

haha this makes me want to listen :nice: I still have the songs

Already been mentioned, but Snow Patrol!

Except aren't they from Northern Ireland? They're really more a part of the Glasgow scene from what I understand, anyway.

 

If you don't mind celtic music and wanted some really rich history to look into, the Chieftans would be a great one to do. They've been around for forever it seems.

OMG... i want reillys songs... :stunned:

:dance:

unlucky mate! I dont have any on this comp

well seeing as im Irish! I can mention a few for ya,Planxty,Christie Hennessey (really like him nice easy listening always has great lyrics with stories,he paints vivid pictures with his words check out the songs "The Quest" "The Vision" and "Sheila Doran" which has no music just him singing a story! amazing song!) another one you could have is Boomtown Rats with ol Bob Geldof.The Dubliners,The Pogues,The Furies,Damien Dempsey (Maybe it doeasnt have to be a band??) Horslips,The Saw Doctors, thats all i can think of for now that hasnt already been said!!
