Still getting through the Eirecana radio back catalogue. This show is a special one featuring Stella Mae of The Lost Highway Radio Show. The Lost Highway has finished their run on Flirt FM for what looks like for good so I thought I would invite Stella Mae in to talk about the show. Just a […]

Back to the album reviews with this week’s post as I catch up on a multitude of releases that I haven’t got round to reviewing on the blog as of yet. Usually when I introduce artists I mention their music and their current releases. So often the premise of the blog posts here means that […]
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 […]
