I like to do themed radio shows on Bank Holidays, so tonight between 9-10pm on Beat 102-103, we’ll be listening to some of the finest female music-makers working in Ireland today. Plenty of great music in the 8 o’clock hour too (including some Y-chromosomes) #IrishBeats

Can you recommend songs by Irish acts tied to specific places? Was at David Keenan’s new album launch gig in Cleere’s last night. He played a beautiful song “Michael Street” named after the road in Kilkenny. Got me thinking about a themed #IrishBeats show. Other songs that immediately spring to mind are ‘Carlow Town’ by Seamus Fogarty and (of course) Christy Moore’s Lisdoonvarna #irishmusicparty

Interview goes out on #IrishBeats #Beat102103 this Sunday evening. Podcast to follow
