Ireland’s Mothers of Rock N Roll

We only have one mother in this life, and sometimes they don’t get the appreciation they deserve. The woman that nursed us when we were sick, the woman who would move mountains to make us happy, and not to forget the woman who would threaten us with the wooden spoon when we were bold. Yes, a mother’s love is unconditional, but everyone knows, there’s no mammy like an Irish mammy. To celebrate Mothers Day we wanted to wish everyone’s mammy a very special day, but especially some of the Irish rocking mammies, & mammies of rockers. Here are our Top 5 Irish Rocking Mammies.
