Taken from his new album ‘Lonesome Kind’, watch DL Rossi’s superb video by Jax Anderson for the album single Gold…a tune about accepting our own limitations in life and what we have the ability to do and not do.

Although based in New Mexico, Sabine Colleen describes herself as a wandering musician. She releases her debut album this summer and recently recorded this intimate and ethereal performance of the folk ballad “With Kitty I’ll Go” for Blue Wall Sessions. It’s also our Song of the Day.

Later this month, Libby Weitnauer makes her solo debut with ‘Sixteen Kings’ Daughters’, a contemporary exploration of two traditional ballads. Watch the accompanying video, created using watercolours by Anne Beal. It’s also our Song of the Day.

Taken from their forthcoming sophomore album ‘Beyond Breath’, watch the mesmerising video (by Tamsin Elliot) for Balladeste’s first album single ‘Dina Dukhio’…quite an extraordinary and beautiful listening experience.

Watch the new video from Cork Singer-Songwriter Sarah Buckley for her enticing new single ‘Full Moon’; the follow up to her widely acclaimed debut single ‘You’ve Got Me’…definitely, a name to watch for.

Taken from Alasdair Roberts and Völvur’s collaborative album “The Old Fabled River”, watch Völvur’s solo rendition of their arrangement of “Nu solen går ned”, a Norwegian spiritual and an ancient traditional melody.

Watch the video for “One Too Many Mornings”, Jason McNiff’s new single and reimagining of a Bob Dylan favourite. It’s also the first track from a covers album he is currently in the process of making.
