    The London Ear 254 // Pat Dam Smyth & Chloe Ray

    Hello, back on the radio after a couple of weeks away with two great interviews with London based musicians, Pat Dam Smyth and Chloe Ray.

    Chat with Pat Dam Smyth

    I’ve been meaning to catch up with Pat Dam since I moved to London. Someone asked me if I knew him. It’s taken me a while but I really enjoyed my chat with him. Pat has just released his new album ‘The Last King’ and it harks back to Pat’s life in Northern Ireland in the 1990s.

    You can find out more about Pat Dam on Facebook, Twitter and on his website.

    Chat with Chloe Ray

    It was great to firstly to be introduced to Chloe’s music and secondly get to chat to her for The London Ear. Chloe is from South London and has a new EP out, entitled “Stories and Sidewalks’. It was great to chat about the influence New York City has had on her life as well as the search her family are on, trying to find out more about their Irish heritage.

    Hello! Another Saturday, another episode of The London Ear!

    I have an hour of great new music for you today alongside a couple of British acts, namely Kate Tempest, who is also a South East London resident, and The Ghosts. The Ghosts were formed by Alex Starling of ex Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. I absolutely adored that band and was delighted to be able to play their new single, ‘We Lie To Ourselves’.

    And boy! There’s some great bloody music out at the moment.

    Don’t forget, if you’re Irish, outside Ireland and involved in music, arts and culture, get in touch. The London Ear is for you, it’s my job to get your voice heard. 

    A Big P.S.

    Last week, there were some changes by the Advertising Standards Authority in the United Kingdom in relation to gifts and adverts sent to bloggers and then shared on social media. As I live in London, this technically includes me as a blogger. Bands, record companies and PRs send me music to play on the radio, often before release day. The music would not be available to purchase by the general public before release day. I receive music from artists with no expectation of play (obviously they’d like me to play it). There are often tracks that I want to play that I do not receive from bands or their representatives. I pay for these myself.
