The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 164

Firstly, I have to say thank you for all your kind words following last week’s show with Dan Mulhall. The interview with The London Ear was literally his last as Irish Ambassador to Great Britain. He left London this week to take up his new post as Irish Ambassador to the United States (Gulp!). I wish him all the best in Washington.

This week, I’m actually back in Ireland to help two very dear friends celebrate their nupitals, so here’s an hour of music for you.

Tune of the Week // Panda Cult – Blue Angel

Tune of the Week // Panda Cult – Blue Angel

I’ve been trying to work out what a Panda Cult looks like. Is it a tribe of pandas who all live together inside an enclosed compound? (Is that a zoo?) Is it a whole bunch of pandas who dance to 80s music under the full moon? Going on this release from the newest Merseyside quartet, they may be heavily influenced by the 1980s but have their feet firmly stuck in 2017.

Blue Angel is a one of those three minute wonders, it’s fresh but familiar, perfectly formed with a seriously funky guitar line and is a classic summer track. The track’s vocal refrain of ‘Baby come back to me’ is echoed in the guitar line making it all more memorable. Production on the track is divinely understated but beautifully rounded. It may take a few listens but once ‘Blue Angel’ gets under your skin, it will stick in your head all day. Indie pop delightfulness.

Verdict: Please sir, can I have some more?

You can find out more about the band on their Facebook page and on Twitter.

The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 162

Seeing as I was back in Ireland last week and spent most of the week preparing for next week’s show, (it’s a biggie) I decided that this week’s episode of The London Ear would feature some of the great music around right now.

So hear ye go, here’s show 162 of The London Ear, oh yeah.. my guest on next week’s episode of The London Ear is Irish Ambassador to Great Britain, Dan Mulhall. Mr Mulhall is off to Washington in a few weeks to take up the post of Ambassador to the United States. I’m thrilled that he took the time out to chat.

But first…
