Irish punk

[trevhagl]

i have an album of theirs - it was on the blood and thunder label... was that a predominently skinhead label or am i wide of the mark?

Blood & Thunder was its title, i forget what label it was

 

[trevhagl]

Used to quite like the Radiators from Space back in the day. Rudi and Ruefrex were both good.
More recent bands include Paranoid Visions, Cold War & Stricknein DC.
Dread Messiah were 3/4 Irish.
Probably loads more that I've forgotten about.

theres a great quality boot of a Southend 77 gig doing the rounds

I of course meant the overused laugh out loud version of LOL at you getting involved in a five year old argument

Seriously if you don't get it by now, I can't be arsed to keep repeating meself! It's like 'negotiating' with my teenage daughter!!! Circular or what?

for fucks sake their name derives from the Irish gaelic word for kiss . Theyre universally recognsed as an Irish band . Your the first person ive ver met in my life whos suggested they werent .

excuse the massive BUMP - nothing embarrassing was said though

There's a good film in Iplayer up for the next 3 weeks

BBC Two - Good Vibrations

A music lover decides to open a record shop in 1970s Belfast and call it Good Vibrations.

www.bbc.co.uk

Good Vibrations, tells the story of the home of Belfast Punk, Good Vibrations, and one Terri Hooley, the man behind it
Enjoyable film, done in that BBC Films style, make everyone a bit two dimensional, a bit cartoony, tweak the story for maximum convenient story telling purpose etc
Drama and comedy, but theatrical....As someone totally unaware of all this it didnt offend me.
Enjoyed it and learned a lot

Two bits of excellent follow on watching are these two slices of the real thing

Watch Self-Conscious Over You - BFI Player

Witness The Outcasts at their incendiary best in this thrilling concert film

player.bfi.org.uk

Organised by Terri Hooley's Good Vibration Records, this legendary gig found almost 1800 people cramming into The Ulster Hall to see local band The Outcasts. The events depicted here were later immortalised in the 2013 film Good Vibrations. The final part of documentary filmmaker John T. Davis 'punk trilogy' – preceded by Shellshock Rock (1979) and Protex Hurrah (1980). These films sought to portray the leading figures of Ulster’s underground punk scene of the late-1970s and early 1980s.

and also


Shellshock Rock (1979)

The raw energy and excitement of the 1970s punk rock scene in Northern Ireland is on display. Derry heroes The Undertones and the uncompromising Belfast band Stiff Little Fingers both feature, as do the less well-remembered Rudi, The Outcasts, The Idiots, Protex, Parasites, Victim and Rhesus Negative, while young fans talk about overcoming sectarian divisions to come together and live their lives their own way, united by music.

"overcoming sectarian divisions to come together and live their lives their own way, united by music" perhaps the key message the Good Vibrations film has.
