It wasn't long after this that Irish country singers began to drop their band's name completely and advertised using only the singer's name. This meant that they could fire and hire as they wished and fans would not get attached to any particular line-up.

The Irish Bands Archive is an ongoing work in progress. Photos, cuttings, posters, adverts, line-ups, etc. to be added are always welcome and appreciated. If you have anything to contribute, please contact us by email.
