Bringing you the best of americana, alt-country and folk from Ireland and internationally. Eirecana Podcast – Podcast VI: The Best of 2015 It’s my last show of 2015. As it’s the end of the year, it’s natural to reflect on the year that was. So this episode is the start of my reflection on the […]
It’s funny how you come across some artists.

Back to the bread and butter of the blog this afternoon with some new music for you. I was looking at my list of albums I have and I really do need to get a move on some album reviews that are long overdue. But as the main aim of this blog is to bring […]
Quite the line-up for this event happening this weekend in Galway. It’s not often that live of this calibre comes to Galway and we should be grateful its here. With tickets for only €8 per night or €25 for weekend passes, the line-up is quite impressive. It kicks off on Thursday night with Eirecana favourites […]

It’s a wet and clod day here on the west coast of Ireland. It’s confined me indoors. So what better time than to explore some new music. This week I feature, what I think is probably Ireland’s first americana supergroup: Sunday Sessions. Sunday Sessions was formed by engineer and producer Ian McNulty. Ian spearheaded the […]
