The Hitchers, Irelands finest straight outta Limerick. They’re best known for the anthem ‘Strachan’ that although I adore (best football song of all time, ever) although that doesn’t even make it on to this playlist of hits!
I first heard of them when Strachan was on a friend’s dad’s cassette tape way back in the 90s along with the likes of Sultans Of Ping FC. It was probably their only song that I listened to in the intervening 20+ years, until this year when I trealised that finally Spotify had got their hands on both their LPs. Ever since I’ve pretty much only listened to them and they might be one of my favourite bands now.
