The London Ear #427: All Irish St Patrick’s Weekend

Welcome to The London Ear #427 and Happy St Patrick’s weekend! Even after 10 years, it’s still weird not to have a Bank Holiday for St Patrick’s Day and it’s quite easy to get lost in homesickness this weekend. So, to celebrate all good things Irish, I’ve put together two hours of great music.

You’re going to get Irish classics alongside brand-new music released this week. I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think of the choices in the comments.
