Over the next 2 weeks [Monday - Friday] I'll be working up the list five acts at a time and telling the world why each [...]

Nearly a year ago to the day inspired by The Irish Times compiled best 50 Irish acts at that moment in time I posted my Top 50 of Irish Artists.

My choices last year were based on bands and artists who I connected with at the time. 1. The Swell Season/Frames/Glen 2. Terry Sutton 3. Martin Finke 4. Pony Club 5. Lisa [...]

Nialler has encouraged us all to make a list to help promote the best Irish music out there at the moment. For an hour yesterday and another hour or two this morning I thought about all the Irish artists I like at this moment in time. It's not an easy thing to do a list because I know I'm leaving out far too many good bands. However I'm happy to publish this list today as it defines what this blog is about and let's ya know what I think is great music in Ireland at this moment [...]
One of the best albums I bought in the last year was the 2006 debut from Shaz Oye titled: 'Truth According To Shaz Oye'. Shaz is close to finishing her second album with the first single called 'Surrender' almost ready for release. All this means that Shaz is ready to gig Ireland with details to follow asap! Shaz's voice is amazing and I can't wait to catch her performing live soon. www.shazoye.com www.myspace.com/shazoye
