Irish Music Blog
Welcome to GroovyChuck.com
In Search of Home Grown Irish Talent.
I started GroovyChuck.com | Irish Music Blog | because I just knew there was really great Irish music out there. I was sick of the crap I heard on the radio and what the mainstream media promote. I've been blown away by what I've discovered. I want to help promote good Irish music.
We need to support our own.
Ireland fuckin' rocks!
