Artists a – z

This is a list of Artist A – Z ’76 – ’83. I’m trying to compile the most complete list of Irish artists playing the music scene in Ireland from 1976 – 1983. Most of the Northern bands are covered on Sean O’Niell’s wonderful site http://spitrecords.co.uk/bands.htm. Any band highlighted in red can be found on his site..

Artists A – Z

In A Band?

Were you in a band? if so please get in touch using the contact form below. I need your information & photographs. If your band is not included, drop me a line with full details of your band. I need photographs and information on most of the bands covered here.

Do You Have Any Demo Tapes?

Do you still have any demo tapes? I’m interested in any recordings. Irish singles between ’76 – ’83. Did you record a Fanning Session? I need the details. Where possible I will include any recordings I have on this site. Many thanks to all those that supplied tapes so far. I have recordings by The Vipers, Ghostdance, Blaze X, The Fuze, Alcove, A Further Room, Revolver, The Departure, D C Nien, The Atrix, The Blades & more.

Your Local Scene?

I need information on bands from Cork, Drogheda, Galway, Silgo, Waterford, Dundalk, Kilkenny etc etc. The Dublin scene was well covered by Hot Press. If you can help fill in any gaps on your local scene, that would be a great help.

Irish Fanzines

The legendary Boy Soutz

I need scans of Fanzines, (Imprint, Too Late, and any zines from Cork, Waterford, Drogheda, Kilkenny, Sligo, Wexford, Dundalk etc etc.) They are a vital source of information. I would also like to display the front covers of fanzines on this site. I have all issues of Heat & Vox. Other than that everything else is welcome. The image on the left was supplied by Jude Carr. Co editor of Heat.

This copy has been signed by the band.

Did you attend any of U2’s shows between 1976 – 1983? Do you still have the ticket stub? Did you support U2? Did U2 support your band? Do you have any pictures, set lists or posters? I need information on U2’s gigs at Howth Community Centre and any shows they played as The Hype. Do you have details of a concert I don’t have listed?
