Haven’t done one of these in a while, in fact a very long while (I think it’s terms of months). Considering I get a load of emails in from American bands, outside of Ireland, I don’t feature them enough on the blog. So keeping up with the general theme of these posts, I’m going to […]
As you might expect, I tend to get a lot of emails in about non Irish artists compared to emails about Irish artists. Even though Ireland is known for its strong relationship with music and language, the population of the rest of the world slightly skews the probability in the rest of the world’ favour. […]
I haven’t done one of my round-up posts in a long, long while. My inbox is building up with artist submissions from further afield than the Irish coast. So now is as good as time as any to highlight a few that I have been listening to. There is no reason or rhyme why I […]
I haven’t done a post like this in a while so now is as good as time as any. The artists featured here also happen to be touring Ireland over the next few days so if you like what you read below, the good news is you can handily head out and catch them live. […]
I did this once before and it is worth doing again I think. Below is a solid but not exhaustive list of some interesting foreign artists coming to Ireland over the next month or so. Again apologies to international readers for being so Ireland-centric but sure you can always come and visit. And as well […]
it’s been too long since I last posted about some international acts here. Not a bad complaint to make that I am distracted by quality Irish music. This volume of music contains artists from across the water to the west and to the east. All singer-songwriters, all of which are performing in Ireland in the […]
I wasn’t sure whether to limit this sort-of post to Facebook or mention it here but seeing as it has extended to a post about what to do with your Saturday night if you are round the pale, I thought it best to collect all that information into one place. I’m sure you are aware […]
This hopefully will not be my last post before Christmas but if it is…have a very happy Christmas. I’m not big into best of/end of year lists but I might do something before we reach the 31st. In the meantime, here is a long overdue return to music from America that I have been listening […]
I am going to continue in keeping up the ongoing habit of organising these posts of American americana into themes. It is Monday. I am angry with the world. I want to listen to angry music. I have today decided to focus on angry men making music. Well that could better labelled: men making angry […]
I’m a bit behind schedule on this, but sure when am I not. For those of you new to the blog, think of this as a monthly digest of what’s sounding good (well according to my tastes) from the U.S. right now. This week’s episode is brought to you by women. Yes it’s a ladies […]
