Neck

Band, *1994 IE
Rock, Folk and World

With their backgrounds in Traditional Irish music, Shane MacGowan's Popes & the legendary London Punk scene, this London-Irish 6-piece's fine pedigree has led to them blending a now world-renowned brew of uplifting Irish swirl & ballsy Punk swagger. Throw-in typical London inclusiveness & Clash-inspired social awareness & the result is their Anti-racism anthem 'Everybody's welcome to The Hooley!' hitting the UK charts. They've also released three albums, & their kick-arse, high-energy live show & extensive touring has made them firm festival favourites (Glastonbury six times!) across three continents! Thus they've, deservedly, gained recognition as one of the leading bands of the Celtic/Folk Punk scene, famous fans, a movie appearance, musical collaborations, & the respect of their U.S. contemporaries. Neck are, simply, the real deal. Sin é. "Manic psycho-ceilídh from the London-Irish heirs to the Pogues' legacy. …not for the fainthearted, this is incendiary, belligerent stuff" Hot Press, Ireland
