    • Sprints. "I don’t have to know everything to be able to tell you that something’s shit... You don’t have to be Usain Bolt to run a race, and you don’t have to understand the theory of everything to understand that, morally, someone’s an asshole."

    • The Dubliners. In our opinion, the Dubliners are one of the best Irish bands around. Founded in 1962, The Dubliners were a successful Irish folk band for over 50 years, although there was a steady change in the line-up over the decades.
    • The Pogues. Fronted by Shane MacGowan, The Pogues took their name from the Irish phrase póg mo thóin, meaning “kiss my arse”. One of the top Irish groups prominent in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, their apex was the classic recording of ‘Fairytale of New York’.
    • U2. As one of the most famous Irish bands to ever form, U2 are synonymous with the expressive vocals of lead singer/guitarist Bono along with “The Edge”, Adam Clayton on bass guitar and Larry Mullen Jr.
    • The Chieftains. If you like the haunting sounds of Irish Uilleann Pipes (like bagpipes) The Chieftains instrumental music is sure to appeal. The Chieftains formed in Dublin in 1962 and helped popularise Irish music internationally, quickly becoming one of the best Irish bands on the trad scene.
