    The London Ear // Show 306

    I’ve an hour of great Irish music for you on this week’s episode of The London Ear. It feels like ages since I’ve played just an hour of music. I love chatting to people on the show but unfortunately, as the programme is just one hour, it means sacrificing playing new music.

    So rich is the bounty of Irish music at the moment that I had chosen enough music for 80 minutes before realising I wouldn’t be able to squeeze them all in.

    This week’s track #FromTheVault is Think’s ‘Gimme The Sound’. I always loved this track and while digitizing my CDs during lockdown found this track on a Hot Press compilation CD. I can’t find out anything about the band, I can’t remember who was in the band. I know the band released an album in 2003 on Studio Loop Records, after that, I draw a blank.

    I’ve had a few messages from people who listen to the show on demand, one who listened to the show while out for a jog. Do let me know where you listen to the show and if you listen live or use on demand options.

    Hello! It’s been a hot hot week in London, phew! Time to kick back and relax with this week’s episode of The London Ear.

    On this week’s episode of the show, I catch up with Hannah from Hannah Moule and The Moulettes. The Glastonbury band have embarked on a remarkable project which they are calling ‘Xenolalia’. The band were about to release their fifth album, and then all the 2020 Covid stuff happened so they reframed their album idea to bring out 55 individual tracks over 11 EPs. Each EP will feature one track, done five ways, in different genres.

    It was great to catch up with Hannah to chat about the project, the band and basically, the state of the world right now.

    You can follow the band on Patreon and get extra little goodies for each EP.

    Ypu can find out more about Hannah Moule and The Moulettes on their website, Facebook, Twitter and Listen to their music on Spotify

    The London Ear Show 304 with Gemma Dunleavy and FiCat

    Hello! A little delayed in getting this online, my apologies.

    It was really great to get the opportunity to speak to two fantastic women on this week’s show. Both are really interesting artists, doing great things in their areas of music.

    Interview with Gemma Dunleavy

    Gemma Dunleavy is an immensely talented artist. A musician and film maker, she’s been honing her hip hop style for the past few years. That has brought her to releasing her current EP. ‘Up De Flats’, which focuses on the community of Sheriff Street in Dublin. What you end up with a collection of real stories about people and situations set in a beautiful soundscape.

    For me, this is another chapter of music about Dublin life, file next to A Lazarus Soul and Mango X Mathman.

    You can find out more about Gemma on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. Buy Up De Flats on Bandcamp.

    Interview with FiCat

    I really enjoyed catching up with FiCat. Here’s the thing, FiCat was actually in my year in DCU when I returned to study as a mature student. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that following a stint living in Berlin, she had returned to Ireland and was now releasing music under the moniker, FiCat.

    All My Love is FiCat’s first single and it’s a seriously danceable track. I really enjoyed our chat about how life is back in Dublin, how FiCat found a new love of trad music in Berlin and much more besides.

    FiCat has a gig (remember those?) scheduled for March 27th 2021, Upstairs at Whelans. You can buy tickets for the gig from Ticketmaster.

    You can find out more about FiCat on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Check out her music on Spotify.
