An Irish band called Lir, who were hailed as the next big thing in the early ‘90s but encountered such misfortunes with record deals that they soon called it a day, only to reform recently, covered The Smiths’ song ‘Bigmouth Strikes Again’ on Paul McCloone’s Today FM evening radio programme last Wednesday.

  • A fine Dublin band called Mrs. Joyce
    used to finish their gigs in late 1988
    with the full "Rank" live version of
    "Bigmouth Strikes Again".It used to
    blow the venue asunder every time !
