Irish musicians on stamps 3 deserve it the other 4 yahoo's not so much. Here is a great clip of Van the Man with John Lee Hooker make the hair stand on your neck.
The great Phil This is what I picture frog on stage 
Last Rory, them other 4 from U2 Only know one rift. Rory rocking it up a long live performance but worth watching around minute 8 he takes a break Rory was a very shy person and suffered from stage fright and scared to fly, to overcome this he would often drink in excess and pop valium. But when he got on stage he would put 110% in his performance. |

That tune became a staple of garage bands, great beat and easy to play. When he use to play it live in clubs he would often adlib extra lyrics and the song would go on for 20 minutes a true performer. Many don't know that he earned his strips doing small club gigs of a few hundred people, when he started playing in larger venues of a few thousand he developed stage fright and had to take a break from performing. He went back to the small club gigs and used this as a tool to over come stage fright.
Another set of Irish musicians these are more traditional folk.
The Chieftains are the music ambassadors of Ireland, they have made great effort to mix irish music with other folk/traditional music from all over the world. The also have done collaborations with some of the greats. A little more is here on a wiki link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chieftains
