Just a short note to say thanks to everyone who visits the blog and comments regularly. It's always a pleasure to bring Irish Music to the blogsphere, however I think I can take the day off as everyone else is promoting Irish Music today. Thanks and slainte!

This amazing gig in The Acadamy could quite possibly be the most advertised gig in Ireland ever! The line-up is wonderful and to be honest almost all acts appearing could easily fill the venue by themselves. However this is a covers night for charity where we can expect songs by David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan sung by our best Irish artists and Fun Loving Criminals. In celebration of this gig I have a cover by the headliner Sinéad O'Connor. Sinéad has sung songs by Kurt Cobain, Cole Porter, Lee Perry and of course Prince who penned the [...]

You know the one - "Two little boys had two little toys, each had a wooden horse..." . Most people of a certain age in the UK, will know it as a 1969/1970 Rolf Harris hit, successfully covered in 1980 by Splodgenessabounds. What I didn't know, was that Kenny Rogers & The First Edition did a version on their '71 album - Transition, or that the song was written, twice... over one hundred years ago. This tune first surfaced in 1903, and was a popular recording by Billy Murray. Edward Madden wrote the lyrics, [...]

two months aint nothing. "the band effortlessly connects elements of Electro, Folk and Indie to beautiful and floating pop songs. They let the music develop it´s melancholia using the interplay of mordern Elektonica´s unaccommodating cold on one side and the intimacy of the chamber music" ounds like jamie lidell hooks up with radiohead playing electronica. bodi bill - tip toe walk (siriusmo remix) bodi bill - nothing bodi bill - very small EDIT: instead of very small here's bodi bill - 10 in 1 , best song [...]

Another mixtape4melfi repost here. In February, four middle age Irish Times rock critics created a top 40 Irish Album list of all time. As lists go.....this one stirred up many a comment or 220 odd on the Irish Times blog. Link: http://www.irishtimes.com/blog s/ontherecord/2008/02/29/the-t ickets-top-40-irish-albums-of- all-time/ So in the Irish Times on friday 29th Feb, the below list of the best 40 albums was compiled by 4 Ticket rock writers.

Damien Dempsey with Sinead O'Connor - "Fairytale of New York" When I first heard about Damien's Pogues cover, I figured he and Sinead would be trading lines like Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl did in the original. That's not the case here. Though it's referred to as a duet, it's really a solo song from Damien, with Sinead doing a bit of backing vocals. It's not bad. Just not what I was expecting. Still, nothing beats The Pogues original. [...]

I accidentally found this video on youtube, and got a flashback to a compilation I bought cheaply on sale a long time ago, "A Song for Eurotrash" , where the cover appeared for the first time. The album was full of covers of old Eurovision melodies, and the performers ranged from Saint Etienne, Dubstar, Bananarama and 808 State to Dean Martin and Brigitte Bardot . One of my favourites on the album was this song, "All kinds of Everything", originally performed for Ireland by Dana in the Eurovision Song Contest [...]

Sara Culler feels urgent in what she do. She resides there somewhere between sparkling lofi electronica and acoustic music with a lot of variation. There is a nice tension in her music and her voice maybe is the main instrument to create this feeling. It's emotional and sometimes she breaks out in outbursts that remind me about Sinead O'Connor , which catch my attention even more. Sara has released a number of EP:s before, and she is now working on a split EP together with her husband David Fridlund ( David & the [...]

Pull it together with the help of coffee and donuts. 3. Drive out to Scarborough to buy a new curling broom. (If this isn't the start of a Canadian country song, then I don't know what is.) 4.

Immaginate un gruppo di amici che si ritrova per qualche giorno insieme, con un bar a disposizione 24 ore su 24 e qualche piccolo studio di registrazione in cui improvvisare. Immaginate che questi siano musicisti provenienti da tanti paesi del mondo, con il solo scopo di confrontarsi e divertirsi. I nomi - e le provenienze - sono: Peter Gabriel (GB), Joseph Arthur (USA), Sinèad O'Connor (Irlanda), Papa Wemba (Congo). E ancora Joji Hirota (Giappone), Guo Yue (Cina), Sevara Nazarkhan (Uzbekistan), Natacha Atlas (di origini arabe), Juan Cañizares (con [...]
