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 hadn't intended to do anything much last Monday night. It was cold and wet outside, I was all set to sit down in front of a warm fire and toast my toes. The two things happened...
1: I'd no firelighters or kindling to start a fire.
2: Facebook messaged me to say Cry Monster Cry were playing in Ballymore for BAG.
Well, that sorted my night out! I grabbed my keys, camera and wallet and headed out the door! I hadn't see Cry Monster Cry play since they launched their last album 'Rhythm of Dawn' back in 2016.
Tonight though, they were promoting their brand new album 'Tides' and, well it sounds awesome live. These guys have some of the tightest harmonies you will ever hear. I'd definitely recommend picking up the album and catching them live.
