Music of Northern Ireland
Northen Ireland Music
Just being bias!
The new generation with new ideas and opinions, determent to pick up and supersede were the sixties left off, was now born!
Maybe I am just being bias, but the sixties didn’t inspire or influence me in anyway. I appreciate the music now, but not back then. Which is obviously not the case, as far as the generations that have followed my Generation, are concerned!
You just have to look around you and you will see the influence that Punk Rock has left behind. There’s the obvious Clothes, the Shoes and the Hairstyles, but more importantly. It’s how; all the above mentioned bands inspired the future generations of this island. Band such as Therapy, Chimera, and Four Idle Hands. Bands from the 80s to present day such as the “Widow seats”. It was “Andrew James Cairns” of Therapy who once said “it was seeing Rudi live at the Ulster Hall” inspired him into start a band. So what more can I say? Apart from this site, the Book, will tell you a lot more than any other source you will happen to find out there!
1960
Did you get the chance to read 'the Bands don't play here no more' if you did, then you will have a rough idea as to what life was like in Belfast during the 1970s....
1970
Then; as we entered the 1970s it was all so obvious by then. The city’s night life had already started to deteriorate, part from fear, part from caution....
Present Day
What followed next; was the era the Good Vibrations movie, and Hooligan the Book both spoke off, but thankfully that’s not how it all happened....
