I'll take a quick break from Irish artists for this pioneering 1995 Eurodance/dream trance/ambient house track by Italian DJ/composer Robert Miles. Robert Miles - Children The piano melody was sampled in this 2023 track bringing the tune to a new generation. Luckily, this also has a single word title. Switch Disco ft Ella Henderson and Robert Miles - REACT

This band are from Mullingar in Co. Westmeath, a place more recently famous as the hometown of Niall Horan of One Direction. The Blizzards - Fantasy

Thanks, Hobie. I've replaced your link with the alternate video. It's from a TV show, but I think they're just miming to the single. The one I posted was on their official YouTube channel, so I'm surprised it didn't work.

While I'm on Irish artists, I couldn't ignore Thin Lizzy. This song was written by the band's frontman Phil Lynott and guitarist Gary Moore about Lynott's newborn daughter. Phil died when I was 15, but I did get to see Limehouse Lizzy, the best known Thin Lizzy tribute act, about 25 years ago. Thin Lizzy - Sarah

Do I have a British accent? Well, yes I do, but which one? Here's a selection of some of the accents you could hear if you visited the British Isles.

Tri-County ARMORED Transport

I'm cheating slightly today because the title of this song is a road, but there's no spaces in it. It's a song about an emigrant reminiscing about Tuam in Co. Galway and the road through it. The Saw Doctors - N17

Rolling Stones

Did you mean to put that in your Minor Mentions thread?

I'm not sure how many of the Irish artists above are familiar names across The Pond, but this group filmed the video below in Los Angeles and played 40 shows at The Sphere in Las Vegas in 2023/24. U2 - Desire

Sorry, Hobie. No Irish women today. Mic Christopher was actually born in New York, but his parents were Irish and they moved back to Dublin when he was a toddler, so I think he counts as Irish. Sadly, following a concert in the Netherlands in 2001, Mic was found unconscious after apparently falling on some stairs. He never regained consciousness and died at the age of 32. Mic Christopher - Heyday

Another Irish band, and this one's a family - three sisters and a brother. The Corrs - Breathless

It's the same building, and it appeared many times. If you check out the Hazzard Square thread, it was located on French Street behind the court house. I labeled it #25, although the building shown on the aerial view is the replacement constructed between 1997 and 2000. It was the Hazzard Impound Yard in 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' - see here, and if you scroll down that page you can see it as Boss' car lot from 'Share and Share Alike'. Scroll down further and you can see it as the Apex Rent-A-Truck office from 'Coy Meets Girls'. In 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!' TV movie the building was Red Perkins' garage (run by his daughter, Mavis) - see here. The building was replaced sometime before 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood'.

Sticking with Irish artists, I woke up with this song in my head this morning, and it was played on the radio this afternoon. Bell X1 - Flame

Charles TYNER Played one of the silver thieves in 'The Hazzardville Horror'.
