Irish Rock
Irish Rock emerged in the late 1960s, primarily from Dublin, as musicians realised that an electric guitar could be their best mate in storytelling and rebellion, often with a pint nearby. It's characterised by anthemic choruses, spirited guitar riffs, and lyrical themes that can swing from the profound to the downright cheeky, depending on whether they've had a good night.
