Last month saw the release of BBC Folk Award-winning Dublin singer and musician Daoirí Farrell’s A Lifetime of Happiness. His album tour is now underway and he is playing dates up and down the country so don’t miss out!

Listen to Be Your Man, the new single from Nashville singer-songwriter D.L. Rossi – “In it’s simplest form “Be Your Man” is just a love song, but what makes it unique is the perspective.”

Kathryn Tickell’s music flows so naturally you could be forgiven for thinking it’s plucked from the air. Hollowbone belies that notion in magnificent style. The music is complex and animated, exploring the mists of millennia but singing in a clear, contemporary voice… a wonderful, brave, and intoxicating album.

We have the immense pleasure of sharing the brilliant new video (by filmmaker Laura Sheeran) for Crush from Dublin-based singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Inni-K who was named by RTÉ.ie as one of ten fierce women defining Irish culture.

Our Song of the Day comes from Flora Hibberd with her debut single The Absentee. It doesn’t get any better than this, haunting, beautiful and timeless… I can’t wait to hear more when her EP drops in April.

Our Song of the Day comes from Californian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Allred. Nature’s Course is taken from The Cell, a mini album set for release on June 14th via Erased Tapes.

Kinloch Nelson is a skilled player whose technique and broad repertoire inform his modest and intelligent guitar playing. There is a lot to enjoy and admire and indeed return to inside this forty minutes of material.

Here There’s No Sirens is the first solo album from Case Hardin’ main-man Pete Gow. It’s a remarkable record, engendering, in varying proportions, elements of beauty, discomfort, empathy and guilt.  Something for everyone then.

Watch Go Again by 360° makers of kaleidoscopic electro-acoustic audio-visual wonderment Grasscourt, taken from their forthcoming ‘Connect Part One EP’ being released by Lost Map Records this Friday.
