We bring Adam from Wild Colonial Bhoys into the studio to trace a fearless leap from hard rock stages to a five-piece Celtic outfit built for festivals, sweaty clubs, and big choruses.

Kneecap Beats The Beatles
Irish music is roaring, and the numbers prove it. We kick off with a jaw‑dropper: Kneecap, the bilingual Belfast trio, outpaced the Beatles in Irish listenership. That single stat opens a bigger story about a confident, contemporary Irish identity that’s reshaping what the world hears—and how Ireland sees itself. From Fontaines DC’s two Grammy nominations to the enduring spell of Enya, we map a sound that stretches from gritty street poetry to luminous ambient calm, all buoyed by critics at h...

From Kneecap To Wolf Tones: How Music, Memory, And Politics Redefined Ireland In 2025
Streaming charts spiked, folk standards roared back, and a Belfast rap crew rhymed in Irish while lighting up debate—2025 turned the volume up on Ireland’s culture and refused to turn it down. We trace how confidence in the national sound grew bolder and broader, from political hip-hop to legacy pop sellouts, and why festival bookings for 2026 point to a sustained wave rather than a one-off moment. Along the way, we ask a bigger question: what happens when musical pride, historical memory, an...

Grandad Brought A Bodhrán, The Algorithm Brought Taylor
A nation’s soundtrack can tell you everything—and Ireland’s is buzzing with contradiction, energy, and choice. We trace a vivid line from festival stages where Kneecap and the Wolf Tones define a generational split, to streaming charts where Kingfisher’s local smash coexists with the gravitational pull of Taylor Swift. That sonic tension sets the stage for a wider story: a country investing €1.1 million to project its arts worldwide while unearthing Bronze Age tools, excavating a 17th-century...

What If The Cure For Digital Loneliness Is A Pub Session In Irish?
A nation’s pulse can be heard in its music—and right now Ireland’s beat is complex, urgent, and unmistakably alive. We follow the surge of a digitally native pop scene—Travi’s chart momentum, genre-blending newcomers, and thoughtful legacy reworks—while reckoning with fragile ecosystems that nurture jazz and improvisation. The contrast is stark: stadium-level confidence for trad giants alongside the loss of crucial rehearsal rooms, reminding us that cultural health depends on both headlines a...

From Axe Heads To Headliners, And Yes, Eurovision Too
Irish culture is cracking open in plain sight—courtrooms, clubs, festivals, book fairs, and classrooms all pulling on the same live wire. We dig into the week’s biggest turns, from Bob Vylan’s legal challenge to RTÉ over coverage of a confrontational Glastonbury set, to the fight to keep Dublin’s Cooler alive as a crucial home for jazz and improvisation. The stakes are high at every level: artists want the right to be fierce without being misframed, and scenes need spaces that welcome risk or...

How Celtic Throne Blends Irish Dance, Cinematic Music, And Epic History
An Irish dance show with a beating heart, a cinematic spine, and a family’s will to make culture live—Celtic Throne 2 takes center stage. We welcome lead dancer Jude and producer George to pull back the curtain on how a homegrown troupe turned years of training, cross-discipline grit, and a fierce love of heritage into a touring spectacle that’s winning over audiences across the UK and the U.S. We trace the origins from Oklahoma to Britain, where Jude trained under Riverdance great John Care...

Irish Soft Power, Hard Questions
Irish music just rewrote the scoreboard. Kneecap outstreamed The Beatles in Ireland, Kingfish topped the year’s plays, and Fontaine’s DC earned major award nods—signals of a confident scene where local taste builds global clout. We trace how this home-first momentum powers a sophisticated export pipeline, why authenticity travels, and how living traditions—from folk revivals to enduring acts like Aslan—anchor the surge with memory and meaning. The story widens beyond the charts. We examine c...

Guinness, Gorillas, And A Farmer With Bronze Age Luck
The week’s stories collide in the best way: a festival bill that pairs Fontaines D.C. with Gorillaz, a hip-hop single that stares down a terrorism case, and a period TV saga pitched as Downton Abbey meets Succession. We follow the energy from main stages to back rooms, from trad on tour in New York and Boston to a harp-and-trad collaboration that treats heritage as a living lab. We zoom out to the cultural screen, where “House of Guinness” promises ruthless family stakes and sharp humor, and...

Bob Dylan Tips His Cap, Westlife Breaks The Box Office, And A Metro Meets Its Match
A rare song choice lights the fuse: Bob Dylan steps into Killarney and revives a Paul Brady classic after 34 years, nodding to the enduring pull of Irish folk. From there we surf the shockwave across a country negotiating spectacle and substance—Westlife’s surging demand, fresh arena dates on the horizon, and a thriving alternative ecosystem where collectives like the Camomil Club give emerging artists the scaffolding to build careers. We talk playlists, pipelines, and why institutional suppo...

Guinness, Gigs, And Government: What Could Possibly Go Wrong
A country can’t stand still when its music evolves, its courts reset the rules, and its people demand answers. We dive into Ireland’s living tension—preserving what makes the culture sing while reshaping the systems that guide the next generation. We start with the soundscape: Deirdre Masterson’s timeless clarity, Alana Thornburg’s collaborative edge with Faro, and Aaron Ruth’s self-funded statement that tradition is a platform, not a fence. Hot Press spotlights a wave of artists, from the e...

Grammy Nods, Shoegaze Sellouts, And A Pony Walk Into A Pub
A wave of wins, a new oath of office, and a viral jig—this week’s story of Ireland moves fast and cuts deep. We trace the lines from indie-pop polish and shoegaze legends to classical compositions earning Grammy nods, then follow that momentum into the civic arena as Catherine Connolly’s inauguration reframes the national mood. Along the way, Other Voices expands its mission with a new stage built for exchange, and Irish dancing pros show how tradition thrives when it meets the right platform...

Ireland Now: Roots, Stadiums, And Strategy
Stadium anthems, language festivals, and a boom in Irish horror might sound like separate worlds, but they’re threads in the same tapestry: a country pairing deep roots with a confident global push. We walk through the week’s biggest cultural signals, from Westlife’s ten-night Three Arena run to the Cork Jazz talent pipeline, and unpack why those headlines matter beyond the music pages. The result is a snapshot of Ireland as both heritage guardian and export powerhouse. We dig into how Cultu...

How Music, Politics, And Diaspora Are Rewriting Ireland’s Story
Episode 001 - 10-29-2025 Two tracks, one story: Ireland is celebrating its roots while reinventing its voice in real time. We map the surge from Westlife’s ten-night 3Arena milestone to the grit of Dublin drill, alongside tender singer-songwriter releases that keep vulnerability and identity at the center. The cultural stakes rise as Catherine Connolly steps in as president, Michael D. Higgins’ health draws attention, and ongoing debates about immigration and belonging pressure-test the natio...
