Irish Rover And The Crew

  Rover MacGowan (lead singer, frontman, lyricist)

  IRISH ROVER AND THE CREW ® was founded in 2005. by Rover(IrishRover, OirishRover etc.), lead singer and lyricist, in southeastern Europe, Serbia, Belgrade. With Shane MacGowan & The Popes as the crucial influence the story is intented to feature STRONGLY INDIVIDUAL IRISH SPIRITED ATTITUDE AND PUNK ROCK EXPRESSION OF ROVER'S WITH HIGHLY SUPPORTING IRISH PUNK ROCK BAND(MEMBERS OF THE CREW). In those terms this wasn't intented nor will ever be classic bhoys band nor Serbian band torturing Irish music. Unfortunately due to wrong place of creation, far from Irish music roots and people, the story suffered very much from the starts. Complete lack of Irish musicians and highly devoted and honourable people for this story was all I found in Belgrade, Serbia so far and that caused many breaking points, small number of gigs and real recorded material with candidates for The Crew who had every possible motives but the ones needed for the true Irish band. Sadly there was a complete dissapointment, discrace and loss of time with those who in attitude, devotion, style etc. rather match Shaban(Serbian turbo folk cultural terorism "music") than the work of Shane MacGowan whose songs are the starting point(tribute to Shane MacGowan + until reaching enough of Rover's authentic songs for performing mainly authentic songs). This story will never consist of fakers, tossers, posers, failures, with no devotion, no attitude, no honesty, no honour, nor punk rock feelings. The invitation for cooperation follows and its for worldwide musicians but the honesty, devotion and real feelings for this story come No. 1 and are a must! Irish Rover And The Crew is an enormous potential story and it will happen sooner or later, but with real people, real Crew, there were too many attempts by wrong people to put the idea down, to compromise with the essence, Irish music, Ireland, punk rock etc. but there can and never will be any compromise with the greatest stuff in the world! For good people my doors are always opened. With Paddy's furious devotion both for you and me. Slainte. Visit WWW.IRISHROVER.ORG
