The Dandelion Market

The Blitz only played three gigs during their short career. All three as support to the New Versions. Two of which were at the now iconic Dandelion Market in Dublin. The third was the Howth Community Centre. Home of U2’s first residency.

Fred & Johnny

Fred would go on to join Myster Men. Who in turn would go on to support U2 on their May 1980 tour of Ireland.
In September Johnny played a couple of gigs with The Noise Boys, after leaving The Blitz. Johnny started his career with the Skank Mooks. Johnny’s current band are the brilliant Trouble Pilgrims. If anyone knows Niall’s surname please get in touch. Many thanks to Johnny for his help with this page.
