Republic of Loose grabbed the Celtic tiger by the tail, swung it around their heads and threw it out the window into the cosmos. What I love about their Celtic cosmos movement is that they don't want anybody else in it. Republic of Loose are sophisticated soul boot boys.' Bono. 'Comeback Girl, Republic of Loose. The greatest song ever written'. Irving Welsh. REPUBLIC OF LOOSE are simply THE BEST IRISH BAND EVER! Each member bringing something unique. Every one of them blew me away and I hope to get to work with them lots more. In fact...I want to join! - Sinead O'Connor "The best band in the country this year and for many years to come" Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol.
