Subject: RE: Irishman that sings with the las?
The La's were an English rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s from Liverpool consisting of frontman Lee Mavers (vocals) and John Power (bass, backing vocals), plus a rotating cast of guitarists and drummers. The band wrote the famous song "There She Goes".

La' is a Liverpool expression meaning 'Lad'. Aw-rigcht La? Meaning ' Are you alright my good man?' :-) I guess in this context though it doesn't mean that any of the La's were Irish but given the high proportion of Irish in that city you never know...
