Led by Irish author, playwright, and songwriter Larry Kirwan, Black 47 espouses an unblinkingly political and thoroughly Irish form of rock ‘n’ roll, with raucous, heartfelt, and intelligent performances of songs covering topics from the Northern Ireland conflict to civil rights and urban unrest in contemporary New York. Black 47 earned their chops playing the pub scene in Manhattan and self-producing their first indie record, Black 47, before The Cars’ Ric Ocasek jumped on board to produce their second album, Fire Of Freedom which brought them mainstream attention. Through years of relentless touring the band’s signature eclectic sound, socially conscious lyrics and exciting concerts paved the way for other Irish influenced bands such as Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys. The band is celebrates their 21st year on the road with their latest compilation CD, Funky Ceili – The Party Songs, released in Feb. 2011.
