In the first week of September 2015, Keith Kelly, who writes for Indie Limerick, plays for Randolf and the Crokers and works for Irish Storage hosted The People of Limerick account. During his tenure he created a list of 35 Limerick bands and linked to both their twitter account (where it existed) and a sample of their work.
Many thanks to Keith for allowing us to reproduce this small list (which as he said could easily be doubled) of some of the Brilliant Limerick Bands.
