The Rob Strong Band

The legendary Rob Strong is regarded by many of his peers as one of the best singers ever to come out of Ireland.
Known as 'The Godfather of Soul', he is celebrating an amazing 60 years on the road this year. As the title of his recent biography suggests, Rob is 'STILL GOING STRONG!'

'Rob Strong is incredibly talented. In my opinion he is the best Blues or Soul singer to ever come out of Ireland. His innate gift is his voice and his timing is incredible' COLM WILKINSON

'The thing about Rob is, he's a serious package, bass chops, voice and presence' BARRY DEVLIN (HORSLIPS)

'I think Rob Strong is an incredible singer, an amazing talent. I just don't understand how he hasn't become much bigger worldwide!'MARY COUGHLAN

'Rob Strong is one of the true originals' PAUL BRADY

Rob started out in the Showband era when he first joined THE POLKA DOTS and later fronted the iconic PLATTERMEN from Omagh. The Plattermen were one of Ireland's most popular showbands and packed out huge ballrooms all over Ireland. In the 1970's nobody in Ireland personified the raw energy of rock, blues and soul music like Rob Strong!
