This week’s Folk Show features some forthcoming new releases including Jackie Oates (from The Joy of Living – ECC Records -24 August), Young Waters (from their self-titled debut album out on 28 September), Rachael McShane & The Cartographers (from When All is Still – Topic Records – 10 August).
There are also a number of new album releases including music from The Longest Day, the new album from Toby Hay (our Artist of the Month) who we recently interviewed in deepest Wales here. We’ve also music from Eamon O’Leary’s All Souls, one of our Featured Albums of the Month which was reviewed here and new releases from Lucy Ward’s latest album Pretty Warnings and Folkatron.
Top all that off with a heap of favourites including Lankum, Landless, Lisa O’Neil, Cormac Begley, Blackbird Raum, Stick in the Wheel, Cordelia’s Dad, Stick in the Wheel, The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock and more and I think we’ve got another fine show.
Just a reminder that some of the artists featured in the show will be performing at ‘Quiet Lights’ in Cork City (7-9 September) which we wrote about here.
