Title: Battle of Irish Bands
Post by: raevyncait on November 23, 2009, 09:10:51 PM
Hey ya'll, there's a battle of the Irish (although from some of the entries,
including my personal favorite entry, it encompasses Celtic music in general)
Bands being sponsored by Strangford Lough Brewing Company.

The Rogues are entered (although for some reason their video hasn't shown up on
the list yet), and I know they'd appreciate if anyone who is so inclined would
go cast a vote for them in the next few days!

The winning band gets to go play Vegas, and one lucky voter will get to go to
the show as well!

I saw the Rogues in MD this year.  They are incredible, but aren't they a Scottish Band?
If you can convince me they are Irish, they will have my vote!
ps - at the moment, they are in the lead.

In all honesty, The Rogues are Scottish, however many of the other bands are not specifically Irish either, and bill themselves as "Celtic"

Hey ya'll, the Rogues made the Top 5, which advanced them to the final round!  Please go vote again!!!
Thanks to everybody for taking the time to vote for the Rogues in the Celtic Battle of the Bands. Thanks to the voters, they placed 2nd in the first round out of 65 bands from Europe and North America. The final round has started please go to: http://www.slbc.ie/involved/compreg/ and vote for ...the ROGUES one more time.

If they win, they get to perform in Vegas for St. Patrick's Day 2010

C'mon all you Texans, Marylanders, and everyone else who supports the boys when they are at your festival! BTW, I hear they are doing FLARF this year!
