Kealan Duignan presents our final live show of the year. Jim O’Donoghue Martin aka VIDEO BLUE talks about his newly released second album ‘Night Painting’.

Our friends from Ireland Craft Beverages Shane McCarthy & Donal Mclynn drop in to studio in what has now become an annual pre-Christmas tradition to discover the most interesting craft beverages coming out of Ireland.We sample some beers from O Brother Brewing, The White Hag Irish Brewing Co., Rascals Brewing Co., Whiplash Beer, Porterhouse Brew Co., & Boundary Brewing.

Sad news for fans of the show as we are saying goodbye to our longest serving contributor Chris Jones at the end of this year. Chris has been bringing new music to the show for the last 4 years but for this edition we asked him to delve back over the last decade to share with us his top 5 Irish acts from the 2010-2019 era. Documenta, Sea Pinks, Solar Bears, Space Dimension Controller and Girls Names all feature.

All that plus a playlist of the best new Irish music including new tracks by Kevin Nolan ft Mik Pyro, Silverbacks, Robb Murphy, Alpha Chrome Yayo, Dirty Dreamer, Anna Mieke, Eoin Dolan and The Christmas Hearts.
