Watch the latest documentary from Myles O’Reilly in which he accompanies Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill​ on their tour of India. A tour that Martin has been particularly looking forward to as he confesses his 25 year love affair with Indian classical music. They are joined by Irish musician and composer Matthew Noone and the fusion of music that takes place is spectacular.

Our Song of the Day is a track premiere from Cameron Blake and is taken from his forthcoming album ‘Alone On The World Stage’. As a solo singer with just guitar he harnesses a very striking and emotive power, both through his prose-like lyrics and his delivery which carry the weight of those words. He has an immediacy that’s impossible to ignore.

Pokey LaFarge will release his new album ‘Something in the Water’ via Rounder Records on April 7th. Watch his new video for the title track and lead single.

Our Song of the Day is Little Deaths, the opening track from Emily Barker’s new album The Toerag Sessions which is available to pre-order from Bandcamp today.
