I'm shutting up shop until at least July 10th and I decided I'd leave with a mix of the best 10 songs I've heard this year from Irish artists.
1. Resurrection Fern - Brothers
I seen Bean Dolan aka Resurrection Fern support The Jukebox Gypsys in Boyles a few weeks back when he played this beautifully written tune. The lyrics are deep and the harmonies are so majestic especially at the end of the track.

2. Anthony Furey The Young Folk - Sad Day
Anthony Furey's debut album will be in my top 10 of the year. It's an honest album of simple but effective tunes. Sad Day is a great opening track.

3. Burning Codes - Can You Hear The Sound
The Burning Codes album is superb and needs to be checked out. Here's the best track from the album!

4. El Hombre Jokes - Just Don't Get Along
El Hombre Jokes are a great band with really great tunes. I love their sound and their ambition. This band will make it!

5. Bellajane - Egg Shells
I regularly listen to Bellajane's debut EP entitled No Strings. The vocals are great and the songs are quality.

6. Eric Eckhart - Lost
American born Eric Eckhart who is now Berlin based released a fine debt album this year. Much of the album was written while Eric was living here. Here's a brilliant radio friendly song which needs to be listened to!

7. Fiach - Stop
'Stop' is my favourite track from Fiachs fine debut album released earlier this year.

8. The Dirty 9s - Trouble
The Dirty 9's are one of the best bands I've had the pleasure of seeing live this year. While I didn't fully connect with their debut album I love this album closer.

9. Keith Mullins - Mistake
Out of all the new albums I've heard this year I think I've listend to Keith Mullins' album more than any other. It's a great collection of Americana tracks. I had 'Mistakes' playing in my head no spot for a week!

10 Reader's Wives - Eyes Like a Hutu
I really love the attitude of this song taken from the recent EP Victor's Mother Juliet by Reader's Wives.
