In the first week of September 2015, Keith Kelly, who writes for Indie Limerick, plays for Randolf and the Crokers hosted The People of Limerick account. During his tenure, he created a list of 35 Limerick bands. Many thanks to Keith for allowing us to reproduce this list, which can be found here Brilliant Limerick Bands. Since then, we have been adding to the list.
A link to the Twitter account of the band or musician, and an example of their music has been added where available, those in italics we have not found a link to their music or social media account
The following are in alphabetical order (by surname if a singer).
