Here's the best of the new music that's come into my life over the last week or two beginning with the wonderful Miriam Donohue:
Miriam Donahue:
Quirky lyrics, pleasant vocals and buckets of charm sum up Miriam Donohue's style. I know I'll be writing about Miriam for years to come!

The jury is still out on The Dirty Valentines. The music doesn't excite me but I can only imagine how good this band is live! Oh and apparently Krist Novoselic commented favourably on one of their YouTube videos!

Hooray! Glad you like :D
Just to clarify...'Lightheart' hasn´t actually been released as a single. The first single off the album won´t be out till the end of the year. We recorded this videosong for 'Lightheart' to finally have a little postcard from Germany to send home to Ireland :) We´re really excited about the album and can´t wait to do a few live shows in Ireland next year :D In the meantime I´ll be doing a few solo slots in October, November and December.
On Monday October 3rd I´ll be at the Jam & Jars session in John Daly´s, Mullingar if anyone is around that neck of the woods.
Sunny greetings to all at home from Leipzig!
