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.
I had planned on an early night last night, but it was brought to my attention that Bunoscionn were playing out the road at the Prosperous Music Festival, so the early night was ditched!
It’s been a while since I last saw Bunoscionn… No idea why, they’re a brilliant live band and it’s impossible to have a bad time at one of their gigs!
Bunoscionn play an interesting set, Folk, Trad, Dance, nothing is off limits and It’s all good. They do a rather brilliant trad infused version of Faithless's Insomnia that just makes you want to dance. Their sets do go on for a long long time so don’t expect to go home early!
