O'Hare is the Anglicized form of the Irish name ''Ó hÍr''. This is a famous Irish clan (or sept) surname. The earliest reference to the clan O haichir (now O'Hare) is to be found in the Annals of The Four Masters.

O'Hare (band)
O'Hara, also known as O'Hare (trans. ''The O'Haras'') were a Yugoslav rock band formed in Zagreb in 1966. Although short-lived, the group was a prominent act of the 1960s Yugoslav rock scene, and, although they were not among the earliest Yugoslav rock bands, O'Hara–as other Yugoslav 1960s rock bands–played a pioneering role in the history of Yugoslav rock. O'Hara gained prominence on the Yugoslav scene with their The Seekers-, The Hollies- and The Mamas & the Papas-influenced songs written by the band's organist and leader Frano Parać. They gained further attention of the public with the arrival of vocalist Josipa Lisac. However, in 1968, Parać and Lisac joined Zlatni Akordi, O'Hare ending their activity. The group's original vocalist, Marcela Munger, and original guitarist, Rajko Boltižar, would reform O'Hara in 1972, the new incarnation of the band releasing only one single and disbanding shortly after. History 1966–1968 O'Hara was formed in 1965 in Zagreb. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
