Irish Glam Rock ?

PTH2009

Out of intrest was there ever an Irish Glam Rock band or were we too 'Catholic' for all nonsense in the 80s ?

Back when a record deal meant a budget for helicopter video shoots

Also check out the singer from flogging molly , he was active on the Rock scene here in the 80s

Legends! And if you use a search engine you will find pat mcmannus is playing in a local near you this weekend, he is savage, you get stadium rock in a pub. I would describe him as an Irish Jeff beck

In the 80s I found there was no glam scene here because it was mainstream, bon jovi , def Leppard, ZZ top , poison, all were top ten hit merchants at the time.

When young guns Metallica slayer and megadeth landed here it all changed from then on 😀

While they were very much their own thing of Celtic Rock, Horslips were prone to get a bit Glammy with the outfits from time to time:

Loved that album. Wishing Well and I want some of that are cracking tunes. Forgot about them after that. Just aw that they didn't do anything after the debut.
