"IRISH COFFEE" was one of the best hardrock-bands from the seventies that ever came out of BELGIUM.
Though the band recorded only 1 LP & 4 Singles, all collectors-items ,they are regarded as one of the important masterpieces of hardrock worldwide.The band stayed together from 1970 till 1975 and played a lot of concerts together with some great bands like,Golden Earring,Uriah Heep,Focus,Chicken Shack,Chris Farlowe and many more.Their one European "hit" was "Masterpiece",that you can hear on this MySpace,plus 3 more songs from their 1971 album.------------------------------------------------------
