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!

Check out my categories, Ones to Watch, Headline Acts, or the one everyone wants to be in... Chuck's Choice. It could be you :)
