Not the finest score. You'll need to go back and watch some '90s YouTube clips of these classic Irish bands and keep an eye on the background.

Pushing towards a half decent score, no doubt. The only solution is to fire up YouTube and keep an eye out in the music videos for the actual band themselves. Soon you'll be an expert.

A middle of the road score, but you could still pick most Irish bands out of a lineup with ease. Now you can go and revise with Picturehouse videos on YouTube to bulk up that '90s knowledge.

So close to perfection. But still, you know your Irish bands inside out, so fair play to you.
