Twenty three years ago, Irish music met punk rock, and the world was forever changed! Irish Punk pioneers THE MAHONES formed at the end of the bar at a legendary Irish Pub in Kingston, (Ontario, Canada), over hundreds of shots of Jamesons Irish Whiskey and pints of Guinness Irish Stout to chase (naturally). It was the brilliant idea of Dublin-born Finny McConnell to put together a band that sounded like The Clash, The Pogues, The Who, Husker Du, The Dubliners and The Replacements, with a dash of Social Distortion, and a name that rhymed with The Ramones. Once this Irish rock and roll stew was complete, and with the band motto "Give it all you've got, or forget about it" (Joe Strummer), a one off gig was booked on March 17th - St. Patrick's Day. Go figure. The world has never been the same!
