oosoom is the latest single from South London’s ewe, the song reflects on the mundanities, uncertainties and anxieties of lockdown life. Despite its downtempo pace, subtle hints of jazz and tropicalia give oosoom a laid-back Latin feel that’s quite irresistible.
We catch up with Charles and Andrew Hendy and Seán McKenna – the Dundalk trio better known as The Mary Wallopers who have another Paddy’s Day Livestream lined up for next week (Wed 17 March). Last year’s show stacked up 40,000 views in the first 24 hours…you’d be a fool to miss it.
Brian Finnegan’s ‘Hunger of the Skin’ is a beautiful collaborative creation, featuring top-class musicians and a rich blend of music and poetry…an album developed in the wee small hours of lockdown nights, we can all now enjoy the fruits of that journey.
Melodic, pensive, joyful, passionate, introspective, melancholic are all apposite descriptors of Glenaphuca. Underlying the whole album, and at its core throughout, are Lewis Barfoot’s undeniably beautiful, crystal-clear vocals, vocals that could melt the hearts of angels. More please.
The Armadillo Paradox, the creative partnership between bluegrass aficionado Sol Chase and storyteller/former hip-hop artist Jared Huskey, share their spacey reflective new single “Reincarnated Werewolf Astronaut”

Watch the video for ‘Can You Hear The Birds Calling?’, the new single from Australian singer-songwriter Tom West – “This song, I guess, is a bit of a meditation. I think I was searching for some meaning or some peace during a really tough time.”
While this may be Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno’s first album together, it’s another contender for the year best-of lists…It may not stray far from well-trod musical and thematic pathways, but the duo walk them with affection for the footprints in which they step.
