“The more you ask (Limerick) people about them, the more the word Legends shows up. Everyone seems to have a story about their favorite Hitchers moment, scariest Hitchers gig or nearest Hitchers miss. For an awful lot of people The Cranberries were far from the biggest band to come out of Limerick… …at a time when people like The Strokes and The White Stripes are turning heads and filling pages, you wonder did The Hitchers call it a day a year too soon.” Limerick Event Guide - Dec 2001
