Neck (2)

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 seminal 2nd, Sod ‘em & Begorrah!, being rated variously 2nd and 3rd -best Celtic Punk album of all time, & their kick-arse, high-energy live show & extensive touring has made them firm festival favourites (Glastonbury six times!) across three continents - from Moscow to Texas & all points in-between! Thus they've, deservedly, gained recognition as one of the leading bands of the Celtic/Folk Punk scene, famous fans (Johnny Depp!), a movie appearance, musical collaborations, & the respect of their U.S. contemporaries. Neck are, simply, the real deal. Sin é. Anti-racist lyrics and a Reel halfway through exemplify Neck’s riotous sound, as if The Clash were born on the Emerald Isle!” The Irish Post "Manic psycho-ceilídh from the London-Irish heirs to the Pogues' legacy. …not for the fainthearted, this is incendiary, belligerent stuff" Hot Press, Ireland
