The Lagan

The Band
The Lagan are a London Irish Celtic Punk band from the south west London borough of Kingston upon Thames.

Name origin
There are differing stories as to the origin of the band's name. The obvious being The Lagan river which runs through Belfast. The Lagan is also used to describe debris washed up from the sea, or the detritus, flotsam and jetsam which floats on a river's surface - the crud (not the cream) which rises to the top.
