Steve Hackett - The Obliterati

By the 1970s, rock music became the most preferred type of music and most mainstream... Rock music tends to have a negative label towards it, but it’s not as aggressive and dangerous as it’s made out to be. It’s simply a band or artist wanting a voice and spreading a message they feel passionate about. However, there is still such a large group of people who love and enjoy a good rock song. 

Rock music has a beat, a rhythm, a personality, and character. This is something not found in any other genre. It moves in stride with one’s heart and promotes the desire to be alive and stay alive. People can relate to the real life stories that happened to them as well, they see the artists as their buddies, as equals in some sense. Rock has always been against everything, sometimes just out of the fun, like the punk scene general attitude. Rock music talks to the audience’s emotions.

The more complex the music is, the more progressive the audience will be. These songs are written from the heart, from the human emotional side. When it comes down to it, music is a reflection of the times and the ideas of that age.

Steve Winwood - Domingo Morning

There have also been plenty of blues festivals and events in Ireland, which have brought the styles to a greater number of people. The Cork Jazz Festival is a massive annual offering that attracts thousands, while there’s also the Dublin Blues, Roots, and Brass Festival that brings in local and international blues enthusiasts. The events are a prime opportunity to celebrate the heritage of these music varieties and showcase some of the best talents around. The influence of reggae and blues music in Ireland goes beyond the music scene and has had a broader impact on the entertainment industry. It’s clear that the incorporation of these genres into Ireland’s entertainment landscape has helped bring diversity and richness to the culture of the country. This has, in turn, led to the attraction of more diverse audiences to Irish entertainment. Companies that offer entertainment to people in Ireland now must consider this diversity, and market their offerings to a broad spectrum of consumers...

Sanctified gospel music, especially in the western part of the state, is represented by members of the Holiness or Pentecostal church, such as The Church of God in Christ founded... in 1897 near Memphis.
