    The London Ear // Show 237 with Gráinne Hunt

    Happy St Patrick’s weekend! Yes, It’s gone from a day to a whole weekend and sure, why not?! Everyone wants to be Irish!

    It was so great to catch up with Gráinne Hunt on this week’s episode of The London Ear. She’s quite a busy lady with two new music releases this year. She’s also quietly one of the hardest working independent Irish artists that I know. I honest don’t know where she gets her energy from.

    If you’re off to see Kila in the London Irish Centre this weekend, get there early as Gráinne will be opening up the show.

    You can find out more about Gráinne and her music on her website, Facebook and Twitter.

    Brian Hogan - Preachers Son‘Come On’ is the first single from Preachers Son‘s second album ‘Ten Stories Tall’.

Frontman Brian Hogan, who’s also in Kila, has surrounded himself with some extremely talented musicians, Cáit O’Riordan, Tabby Callaghan, Davy Blythe and Jonny Field.
