Happy St. Patricks Day folks!! Thank goodness for the Irish!! Top Notch has had the privilege of deejaying many St. Paddy's Day events and are familiar with the top Irish "drinking" and St. Paddy's Day songs, but let's face it, most of us will only listen to artists such as "The Pogues", "The Dubliners", and "Flogging Molly" on a seldom base. Now granted, there are many "Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly" fans out there, however this post will focus on the bands/artists we all know, we love, and I'm willing to bet you didn't know they were irish! The following are Top Notch's favorite Irish bands. Check them out and let me what you think! NOTE: The band "U2" is left off of this list simply because most due realize U2 are an Irish band.
May the luck of the Irish be with you!!
