Its been a little while since I dipped my toe in some new Irish music. The problem with being based over in London is that I feel obliged to support London based musicians for the growth of the brand. Recently, finding music from my own homeland has been put on the back-burner. I'll will nip... Continue Reading →
Elkin / Win Win
Another super Irish release today comes from Ellen and Carla, the two talented components that make up Elkin. The duo have been singing together since the age of 15 and now are under the watchful eye of respected producer 'Lullahush', who is making them their fab beats on new single 'Win Win'. It has just...

New Irish Artist: Christian Cohle and his Debut Single ‘Breathe’.
Ireland has a new musician bursting onto the scene today. 'Breathe', is the debut offering from Dubliner Christian Cohle. It is epic.

Padraig MacMahon – Care
On Tuesday, amidst my fleeting flying visit to Dublin, I took in an instalment of the popular 'Ruby Sessions' above Doyles! This is an accoustic night which happens every Tuesday- it's a musical institution at this stage. This intimate night has been running near on 20 years now (Founded in April 1999), unbelievable really to... Continue Reading →
Lullahush – Clothes
Yet another slick as an oil-spill artist hailing from my home city of Dublin, Ireland. I was sent over this tune earlier this week and instantly knew I'd be sticking it up of on the site. Bizarrely constructed experimental music really intrigues me, this Lullahush fella is extremely unique and fresh on first glance. 'Clothes' is a... Continue Reading →
