I'd love to share some Irish music that I'm into right now, there's so many great bands & acts making music that's not in the mainstream. (I did something similar before with @delorentos & used the #BrilliantIrishBands hashtag.)
All songs will be up here: open.spotify.com/user/delorento…
For ease I'll be focusing on bands people might not have heard of or acts on their first album. I'd love you to get involved & share your discoveries or promote a song or your band! Plus I'll try to listen to everything sent this evening! 💚🇮🇪🎼
Please try to give the tracks a listen & discover something you might love! I swear you'll find something great... (there's loads!)
One of my favourite live bands - handsome 2 piece @wecutcorners -this song is a perfect, clever, TUNE. Check this out: open.spotify.com/track/26vskm6S… #BrilliantIrishBands
If I was allowed to join any Irish band I would respectfully ask to join these legends. (they would say no, but I totally understand) This sounds like all the good things about the 90's mixed with happiness. @PillowQueeens open.spotify.com/track/4ngdnHcT… #BrilliantIrishBands
I am so happy that @WyvernLingo exist, are as good as they are, & write songs so good as this. open.spotify.com/track/3nj5ONXJ… #BrilliantIrishBands
I saw @bitchfalcon in a tiny pub 3 years ago and they were spectacular. They have got even better since, which is bordering on too much good.

Mr @daithimusic is consistently creating some of the best & most inventive music Ireland is producing. Check this one out, also featuring Mr @paulisanoonan. (They insist on the Mr.) open.spotify.com/track/6BvbrsC1… #BrilliantIrishBands
You might know this dude, @MIKPYRO, but you might not have yet heard his solo stuff. If you get a chance to read the lyrics to this, well, they're pretty special. :)
open.spotify.com/track/3gA9HDqA… #BrilliantIrishBands
These guys have been around for a while, but its starting to kick off now, this song from @SpiesBoys is a belter. Turn it up! (If you're allowed.)
open.spotify.com/track/6FF0xQJ2… #BrilliantIrishBands
If I could marry a song, I would marry @Soakofficial's B a Nobody. The relationship would be moody, but rewarding. The new stuff is going to be great too... open.spotify.com/track/39aN7XSA… #BrilliantIrishBands
These guys are great live, and are going to be huge. Love Love Love @weareLeBoom - dance!
open.spotify.com/track/1uLKT5MO… #BrilliantIrishBands
If you don't know @SorchaRichardsn - treat yo'self, she's the real deal. Lovely melancholy loveliness. open.spotify.com/track/6NVu0gFL… #BrilliantIrishBands
I love @Fangclubband. They sound like a fight in a chipper between angry bears & guitars, if you get me. Plus they're from North County Dublin, so respect. open.spotify.com/track/161dgbbu… #BrilliantIrishBands
I dare you to listen to this song & not like it - @fontainesdublin - So on the nose. open.spotify.com/track/4ycFNMxW… #BrilliantIrishBands
The godfather is @richiejape - the man has a genius in his fingers. Check out the video too, if you get a chance. Murmers of new music coming aswell. open.spotify.com/track/5pHsCrDV… #BrilliantIrishBands
This song is not a new song, but it's one of my favourite ever by an Irish act, and I'd love for you to hear it. It's by @MumblinDeafRo. x open.spotify.com/track/7gyB5jNj… #BrilliantIrishBands
If you don't know @girl_band, have a listen. They might just be what you've been looking for. open.spotify.com/track/4RXKN8Ux… #BrilliantIrishBands
Truly, one of the most interesting and creative bands in Ireland right now - @BleedingHeartPs - so unbelievably good.
open.spotify.com/track/6DzwWbVw… #BrilliantIrishBands
This song stopped me in my tracks when i heard it first - @GavinGlassMusic has always been good, but this is so lovely. open.spotify.com/track/4hJjBgmK… #BrilliantIrishBands
Really like this from @Paddyhanna - his album Frankly I Mutate is great too. Interesting fact - The title is an anagram for "My Kitty Funeral", which is unrelated. open.spotify.com/track/56NZkBzH… #BrilliantIrishBands
I came across @Jenevansmusic at a festival once and was instantly transfixed, this is a brilliant song. Now it's your turn! open.spotify.com/track/4xwjHwmF… #BrilliantIrishBands
If you haven't heard indie oddball geniuses @StoatMusic , you need to acquaint yourself and get up to speed. The new album is all kinds of fun.
open.spotify.com/track/0wyFwYYN… #BrilliantIrishBands
Apologies for the delay, I was actually just enjoying this song and forgot to tweet. @BrassPhantoms may look like soft friendly young people, but they are hard killers with a tune. open.spotify.com/track/7q4PUOzq… #BrilliantIrishBands
The man @kojaque gave us the excellent Deli Daydreams album, and for me, this is the standout - Bubby's cream - check it out. Hip hop with soul and a Dub accent.
open.spotify.com/track/6wtN7CqL… #BrilliantIrishBands
A serious man with a serious voice & some serious tunes @DavidKeenanmuso, is one to get lost to. Get in now and then tell everyone you loved him before they did... open.spotify.com/track/6CtJBinE… #BrilliantIrishBands
Ok - I'm conscious of too many tweets here, but I could literally go on for hours, I'm only a third of the way through what I've prepared for yiz. I hope the tunes are doing something for you. Back soon!
Something different, I love this song by singer @olliecole, he was in a band called Turn around 00/02, really good. open.spotify.com/track/2gAKwyQL… #BrilliantIrishBands
I mentioned this song in an "underrated" thread earlier - but holy cheeses, I love it. It's by the excellent @jimmycake from a few years ago. open.spotify.com/track/7jDkOKt2… #BrilliantIrishBands
When I listen to this song I do a weird shoulder dance until the beat kicks in around the chorus, I assume I look excellent. Try it, @SouleOfficial is class.
open.spotify.com/track/7JpGGW4K… #BrilliantIrishBands
hey, @oemperormusic are one of the gems of the underground scene. Listen to the chill vibes on this & try and disagree.
open.spotify.com/track/0snn2rVH… #BrilliantIrishBands
This band are excellent at jumpsuits, colour coordination and sounding like a modern excellent fun kim wilde style goodness. Great song from @whenyoungband: open.spotify.com/track/1oFzdruj… #BrilliantIrishBands
Looooooooooooooove this one from @COLUMBIAMILLS, who are neither Columbian or millers, and possibly all the best for that. modern / 80's vibes open.spotify.com/track/6km5gwxn… #BrilliantIrishBands
I can imagine the video for this song, its a bit Miami vice, a bit Will Smith, and a bit the 1975's, but kinda better than that sounds. I also do not make videos, no-one lets me. @truetidesband:
open.spotify.com/track/6byppFFx… #BrilliantIrishBands
This some excellent spooky pop from @laoisemusic, cool as all hell. open.spotify.com/track/5FMNvCco… #BrilliantIrishBands
Have to throw in a bit of @OtherkinOK - rock and roll and ramones and hives and attitude ...open.spotify.com/track/1IxdiOhr… #BrilliantIrishBands
This fellas' flow is exceptional, tunes for your feet right here... the verse is the best you'll hear this year from an Irish vocalist - @JafarisMusic open.spotify.com/track/4Z0W5gQm… #BrilliantIrishBands
so, @WeAreOrchid are an island of absolutley excellent indie pop in a sea of sameness, this is a cool tune:
open.spotify.com/track/0TCevd2h… #BrilliantIrishBands
This song manages to sound like it's always existed while also sounding completely unique. I love it so much. @alazarussoul open.spotify.com/track/5gezEw4B… #BrilliantIrishBands
i'm such a fan of Limerick's @ELangfordMusic, songs so lovely and warm...
open.spotify.com/track/6Odp6xqx… #BrilliantIrishBands
I really like this from Dublins' @HeyGalants - a band made up of shoegazery types, kinda reminds me of a more chilled stone roses vibe too for some reason. open.spotify.com/track/4Zfotfzq… #BrilliantIrishBands
This is the song I put on when I'm in my dressing gown strutting around the house doing the actions in the morning. Try it, it's excellent, as is the song. @MangoXMathMan open.spotify.com/track/0OEkA4dP… #BrilliantIrishBands
Change of pace - this is wonderful from @FelixTandem - & the video is clever too if you get a chance... open.spotify.com/track/0N4T57ID… #BrilliantIrishBands
@yevagabonds are an amazing soulful folk band who happened to live beside almost half of us for a while, and they were excellent neighbors and soulful sessioneers.
open.spotify.com/track/2PC2Tnwj… #BrilliantIrishBands
The awesome @ShipsMusic went and bloody won the Choice music prize, and if you win that you must be excellent. This is my favourite song from that deadly album: open.spotify.com/track/1x9dzokw… #BrilliantIrishBands
.. Which leads me to the super excellent @RusanganoFamily and this banger of a tune! open.spotify.com/track/3BjYrIfE… #BrilliantIrishBands
The super brilliant @musicbyloah and the hero that is @RuairiLBantum join forces on this beauty from 2 years ago - both are supreme talents. Plus the music is all backwardsy and futuristic, always a bonus. open.spotify.com/track/1EB9Eb6h… #BrilliantIrishBands
Ok - thats loads to be getting on with, hope you find something that you love in here. Gotta switch off! x
oh - and I am already realizing people I forgot, (sorry!) and I intentionally didn't include established acts. x

Getting ready to head to Carlow to meet @FocusIreland colleagues from around the country. These meetings are useful in a number of ways. One of the most important for me is seeing the issues that are arising around the country...
so that we can work with officials in @HousingPress or Local authorities to address administrative issues that arise...This got me to thinking about what are the tools, resources etc that drive advocacy in @FocusIreland. Excellent research for sure....
Collaboration with colleagues across the NGO sector and academics definitely...the day to day work of our frontline service is critical...but for the policy wonk across all sectors its hard to imagine that any work would be possible without....

Of course costs will exceed the budget if we don’t have a realistic budget. Our population is growing, our needs are changing and we are maintaining a relatively inefficient and expensive system - at literally any cost (1/6)
Households are increasingly filling the budget gap, too. They are paying out of pocket for services and private insurance costs have been on the rise over the past few years. The costs are crippling many people (2/6)
There’s also difficulties accessing vital services such as home care and mental health care. People are concerned they are paying a high price for a system that can’t meet their needs in a timely way (3/6)

One of the other things I’m lucky enough to do is play music on the radio. 😀 I have an alternative show called “The Nova Guestlist” on @radionova100 on a Sunday night from 8pm, & I tweak away at the over the week, making notes & adding songs & ideas - I absolutely love it!
So basically, the show’s about alternative & live music, so I play music that I think Nova listeners would love, stuff that I love, & stuff I HOPE that listeners will. There’s a bit of second guessing that goes with that, but generally, people are receptive if you’re passionate.
So, I set up my playlist, add in songs from home if there’s any, then fiddle round with a run order (overthinking usually) & tinker til I’m happy. I choose 3 gigs of the week in Dublin- this week it’s @ilovelucius, @sopharela (Soccer Mommy, cannot wait) & a dude called @hozier!

One of the cultural things I love most are Podcasts- I pretty much alternate between Podcasts & Music in my ears every free minute. I'm always up for a recommendation- so I'll throw out a few I love & I'd love to hear what you're into!
First of all, @SecondCaptains, those guys are like FAMILY to me man. I sat on a long car trip recently playing their podcasts to a dude who may have been politely humoring me while I looked at him for reaction. Anyway, Great Irish Sport insights- check it:

Super surreal & articulate Mr Blindboy of @Rubberbandits does some excellent themed podcasts that can seem whimsical but often make you think... def worth a listen..
