A slightly different radio show on this evening. To celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge 2021, the second hour of Irish Beats was entirely as gaeilge, featuring loads of great Irish tunes as you mightn’t have heard before. MayKay (ex Fight Like Apes) was my guest in the first hour talking about the IMBOLC music special currently streaming on the RTE Player. Plenty of fresh tracks in the mix from Tolu Makay, James Vincent McMorrow, Emma Langford, Kojaque and more.
I’ll be 100% honest, I found this radio show tough. Don’t get me wrong, pressing buttons isn’t difficult! However, my Irish is pretty terrible and I felt like I was thinking through concrete when forming links between songs. How and ever, got there in the end … the music is good!
