Linda Coogan Byrne and her team over at WhyNotHer have put together a startling report on the state of the Irish Singles Chart over the last 20 years and how it practically ignored Women and BIPOC. It's an incredible piece of work, one that, had all things been fair and equal, should never have had to be complied. Unfortunately, like most things, the Irish Music Industry isn't a fair and equal place... Anyway, don't take my word for it, click here to read the report.
The Phantom Menace… Everyone in the world wanted it to be a good movie, but the unfortunate reality is that, well it kinda was, well , crap… But that’s expectations for you, they don’t always live up to reality!
Where am I going with this you’re probably thinking… Well, I’ve been waiting for Aleigh to release some new music for a while now. I’ve seen her live many times, and really like what she does. So I had high expectations for this release and thankfully, unlike The Phantom Menace, her new single “Any Place” is a cracker! Check it out below.
Support on the night was from Grainne Hunt and Brendan Carvill, you should check both of them out also!
