Blood & Thunder synopsis

There are 584 bands in Northern Ireland, yet their presence and activities are not reported except for news of tensions and riots. This book reveals the inner story of Ireland's most dynamic cultural scene in the early 21st century.

She argues that the Blood and Thunder gangs in many respects play a role in Northern Ireland, similar to GAA in the Republic, by embracing their culture, conveying traditional skills and instilling local pride among young participants competing against each other during the March-October season. Centered around the diary of an external observer with an "insider's perspective" during the 2009 season in Blood and Thunder, the book focuses on the active young pro-cast Castlederg band and examines the cultural, historical, social and political nature of blood and thunder gangs..
