Neck are a six-piece London-Irish Celtic punk band from the North London neighborhood of Holloway led by Leeson O'Keeffe who was a member of Shane MacGowan and the Popes. The band was influenced by two other London bands: The Clash and The Pogues, blending Punk rock with traditional Irish music to play a London-Irish style known as 'Psycho-Cèilidh' where a cèilidh is an Irish social gathering with Gaelic folk music.
O'Keeffe died in April 2024 of cancer.
