“…By Gallagher and his brother exemplifying the stereotype here, they enable a point of fixity that motivates a 'buttoning down of otherness'. 135 The Irish as 'Dumb Paddys' Strongly linked to 'Irish' ways of speaking is the stereotype of the 'dumb Paddy', which Walter 136 believes emerged largely from Anglo culture framing Irish dialects as 'substandard English' and, therefore, evidence of Irish people's 'stupidity'. According to Kiberd,137 however, the Irish were also complicit in their own stereotyping.…”

This paper seeks to explore the presence of Irish stereotyping in the international music press using a case study of the Irish blues rock musician Rory Gallagher. Using a dataset of 600 articles about Gallagher published between 1968 and 1998, it draws upon a combination of corpus and thematic analysis to identify frequently occurring Irish stereotypes and how they were used to describe him, embedding arguments in postcolonial theory, particularly the work of Homi K. Bhabha. The analysis identifies five major themes—the Irish as violent troublemakers; the Irish as heavy drinkers; the ‘Irish’ way of talking; the Irish as ‘dumb Paddys’; Irish folklore and traditional ways of life—highlighting the different roles into which Gallagher was unwillingly cast by the music press. These references often wrapped Irish prejudice in a cloak of fun and frivolity, which made it seem harmless and trivial. However, such disparagement humour fostered discrimination by moulding (negative) public opinion of what it meant to be Irish at a time when Anglo-Irish tensions were already high and ignored the deeply emotional impact of the Northern Irish conflict on Gallagher. It also took attention away from Gallagher’s music and, in doing so, downplayed the important contribution he made to the world of blues and rock.
