Santana - Santana Jam

The term Rock & Roll is still popular to use, because that started it all, but If you say the Rock & Roll era… it’s the mid fifties to the early sixties. Rock, on the other hand, doesn’t refer to a specific era, and includes a wide variety of musical styles. It’s up for debate whether Rock’s broad sweep should include Pop, Hip Hop, and Rap.

But let’s try to pinpoint the timeline a little more. Almost without fail, programmers of Classic Rock formats on radio stations, and now streaming services, start with the year 1967.

The progression of Rock in the 1960’s, and the inspiration it gave young people to take up music, caused an explosion of Rock in the 1970’s.

There have been many outstanding Rock musicians and songs in all of the decades after the ’70’s, but whether it’s called Rock & Roll or Rock, it’s currently taking a back seat to other types of music. Maybe there are young musicians practicing on their guitars, keyboards and drums, ready to return Rock back into wide popularity... Hey, Hey, My My, Rock & Roll Can Never Die.

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.

One of its present ministers, Reverend Robert Wilkins, a practicing herbalist now 90, became active in church work after several years as a highly regarded blues singer.
