Nóirín Ní Riain is now appearing alongside her sons free on Spotify! An album I’ve loved for over a year, (that’ll definitely cure the insomnia) is now available for free to everyone in Europe.

Drunken stupor »
18/07/2009
Last night I had a few drinks at home with friends and my brother, and it got me thinking. How many songs are inspired by drunkness? I started playing some music in my bedroom, and then it hit me. Most of the songs I hear about men in the Irish tradition holds the accusation of [...]

In November I asked the distributors of the albums (the amazing Tunecore and Amazon) to take down the albums they’ve been selling for me. I’ve had a few nice emails asking why, and he truth of it is, I’m hoping to move away from that work. I have a lot of plans for the future, [...]

19/12/2008
I hope you all enjoy Christmas (or the holidays, depending!). Obviously it’s a hard time for a lot of people, so don’t forget a wee thought for them – there’s an amazing album called Wells for Zoë which you could buy for yourself, and it will really benefit others! As one man said “this life [...]
