On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Ireland




I have Ireland here, but I’m posting up some bands from both the Republic of & Northern, just to be democratic & catholic (non-capital letter meanings).

Nobody’s commenting on any of this, so why am I wasting my time writing up a bunch of stuff no one reads. If you want to find out more about these bands or releases, look for the information elsewhere. As I wrote on the first country post (Greenland):
“…having the honor of being the first country in our amazing quest around the world searching out musick from every nation, you’ll  have to pardon me & excuse any problems you may perceive with my style. I am as of yet in awe of this whole project & I will probably ramble on way too much at first here…”



In 1972, one Philip Parris Lynott & his mates Eric Bell & Brian Downey teamed up with Benny White – singer & Dave Lennox – keyboards, from the band Elmer Fudd, to do an album, a tribute to Deep Purple. They called this one-off band Funky Junction.

Funky Junction – Play aTribute to Deep Purple, Stereo Gold Award MER 373, 1973.

Do you need some Belfast Therapy? Well, I say you do.


While attending a charity gig in early 1989, Andy Cairns saw Fyfe Ewing playing drums in a punk covers band. They met for rehearsal in Fyfe's house in Larne with Andy playing guitar through a small practice amp & Fyfe playing his kit with brushes. First they borrowed a bass guitar from Fyfe's classmate Michael McKeegan & then deciding to play live, they borrowed McKeegan. 
“With keen pop sensibilities, a skewed sense of humor & a willingness to draw inspiration from diverse sources, Therapy? came to attention in the early 1990s rise of alternative rock, & have endured for more than two decades”: critic Johnny Loftus writes.

Therapy? – Babyteeth, Southern Records 18507-1, 1991.
