THE VIDEO ABOVE IS A SPECIAL 15 MIN VIDEO ON ROB STRONG’S CAREER 

 He may be 77 years old this year but Rob Strong, as his Biography by Paul Holland suggests, is STILL GOING STRONG! The Derry native, with the sensational blues/soul voice, is celebrating an amazing 60 years on the road in 2022. See quotes on Rob from Barry Devlin (Horslips), Colm Wilkinson, Johnny Logan, Pat Shortt and Paul Brady below!

 ROB STRONG BIOGRAPHY ‘STILL GOING STRONG’ SOLD OUT! Thanks to everybody who bought the biography and in doing so eventually help me pay off the substantial costs of self-publishing a book of this type! It was a fantastic experience interviewing Rob Strong and so many of his contemporaries in the Irish Music Business and to be able to document the huge respect for Rob’s  world class talent made it all worthwhile!

Regards Paul Holland

The thing about Rob Strong is, he’s a serious package, bass chops, voice, presence. And he really didn’t need amplification. The voice would carry down a hall on its own. There was definitely a connection between us and The Plattermen in the early ’70s.”

Barry Devlin, Horslips

What People Say About Rob

“To play with someone of the calibre of Rob Strong was a huge honour for me as Rob was one of the best singers I had ever seen in Ireland.”

Johnny Logan

“Rob Strong is unique. He is incredibly talented. In my opinion he is the best Blues/Soul singer to ever come out of Ireland. His innate gift is his voice and his timing is incredible.”

Colm Wilkinson

“There is no doubt in my mind that Rob Strong is world class. His voice is just amazing. To see The Rob Strong Band live is very special.”

Pat Shortt

“Seeing Rob Strong with The Plattermen on the late ’60s was a big influence on me. To hear a fellow Northerner sing the soul music I loved so well, gave me a lot of confidence that one day I could find my own voice. Rob is one of the true originals!.”

Paul Brady
