The
Irish Showbands were a major force in the Irish famous music, particularly in
the local places, for twenty years from the mid-1950s. The Showbands played in
dance halls and was loosely based on the six or seven piece Dixieland dance
ensemble. The basic showband list include the standard dance numbers, cover
versions of pop music hits, ranging from country and western to jazz standard,
and rock and roll. Key to the showband’s success was the way to learn and
perform songs presently in the record charts. They sometimes played Irish
traditional or Ceilidh music and a few included self-composed songs.
