An Irish artist for Tune of The Week this time round. I spoke to Aine Duffy last night on DCUfm and I had the first play of this medley. I think it may also be the first cover to get Tune of the Week. A dash of Stevie Nicks with a lashing of Destiny’s Child, driving drums and a few electric guitars. Yum!
This week’s Tune Of The Week is Aine Duffy with I Don’t Think You’re Ready.
Here’s the video!
Episode 45! Hard to believe it really. It was good to be back on air on DCUfm and playing some new music. Tonight also featured an Interview with Teddy Thompson who I met three hours before his current tour started and Aine Duffy, who was kind enough to be on the pilot for Culture Cafe about two years ago. I also got the first play anywhere of Aine’s new single..

Cork chanteuse, Aine Duffy isn’t exactly your run of the mill singer/songwriter. She insists on rocking out. That is very much evident from the first track of her debut album.
Duffy’s music can be described as a hint of Kate Bush with a dash of Janis Joplin, a cup full of Zeppelin and finished with a splash of twenty first century dance. Perhaps someone has also been listening to Sophie B Hawkins? The album grabs you, shakes you and makes sure you get your weekly dose of rock.
One of the standout tracks ‘Ask John’, is already released as a single, receiving airplay on both sides of the Atlantic. Duffy is quickly gaining the respect of industry and fans alike and has already a dedicated fan base in L.A. and N.Y.C.
Good musicianship, good arrangements, good beats, ‘Put Your Money On’ is a decent first album and a great starting point for Duffy.
