Exclusive Premiere: The Pumphouse Gang “Welcome Back Into My Life” (All City Records)
“Stating it softly… Irish music of the 1970s was simply not synonymous with groove music in any way. Avid music aficionados were totally ‘rockist’ then (to use an old tag from the same time!) That thread tends to follow with record collecting of vintage Irish music of that time, down …
