The first scholarly book on the second-generation Irish in England, `Irish Blood, English Heart' is also the first full account of popular music-making amongst the Irish diaspora. It explores the diverse `routes' pursued by second-generation Irish musicians, tracing their different styles and personas, and discrete social contexts, from London (Shane MacGowan, Cait O'Riordan) to the Midlands (Kevin Rowland) and Manchester (Morrissey/Marr). The book disputes the view of England's Irish as a peripheral and problematic presence, seeing the second generation as a highly active and creative presence at the forefront of British culture. This is a highly valuable book on the Irish diaspora and the politics of post-imperial popular culture in the UK. It reveals how Irish-English musicians struggled and succeeded in making the nation's multi-ethnic history and culture more audible and visible in a particularly inhospitable climate for the Irish. The book makes a significant contribution to the cultural history of the 1970s and 1980s, and contains lessons for the present in which England and the United Kingdom continue to fashion other `enemies within'.
