    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 // Session Motts – Plundered Past

    Tune of the Week // Session Motts – Plundered Past

    Session Motts - Tune of the week - photo: Eoin HigginsIt’s quite easy to get caught up in the rat race of London and miss out on stuff. Even though this Session Motts’ track has been around a little while now, I first got the chance to listen to it on Spotify as it had been added to a playlist I follow.

    Tune of the Week // Session Motts – Plundered Past

    Blow me down with a feather, it’s bloody great! I love Keeley’s wistful vocals, I love the guitars, I love the synthy bass line.

    Plundered Past is the second release from Dublin’s Session Motts and the follow up to Chip Shop Fights, which was released earlier this year.

    The trio comprise of Keeley Moss and Ingmar808 who have been joined by Daniel Kane. I also love how they have given themselves job titles within the band. Keeley is Session Motts Director of Communications & Social Media. Daniel is Lead Ambience Designer & Head of Logistics. Ingmar808 has been given the title of CEO & Head of Production. Quite rightly too, he’s got a not too shabby CV when it comes to mixing and producing, having recorded Julian Cope, Sly and Robbie, Suede and Pulp and mixing Bob Marley and U2. Sorry, I have to read that line again, I thought it said Bob Marley and U2.

    Inga-Maria Hauser – The Keeley Chronicles

    Plundered Past is ‘Dedicated with so much love and respect to the memory of Inga-Maria Hauser and her family. Never forgotten’

    Inga-Maria Hauser was a German backpacker who was murdered in Northern Ireland in 1998, however the crime is still unsolved. Not content with being on vocal and guitar duties in the band, Keeley Moss has turned detective on her blog, dedicated to the mystery. Check out https://www.thekeeleychronicles.wordpress.com to read Girl, Interrupted: The Untold Story of Inga-Maria Hauser.

    Plundered Past is a retro modern electronic indie showgaze marvel. Can’t wait to hear more.
