The Day the Earth Shook 
The ninth album, "The Day The Earth Shook" is a ten year
anniversary album and is a collaboration of all the members of The Black Irish Band.
Recorded live, in studio, the band performs their most requested pub songs in their own
energetic style. Put this one on, turn it up and sing along...that's what it's all about!
In the year of 1989 on a late summer afternoon five friends got together to form a
band. One hour into that first practice a strong earthquake hit the coast of California!
From that dark day in California history the Black Irish was formed and the rest is
history!
