Yes folks out there in Radioland, Niall Toner is back on RTE Radio One for a six-week series of Country Heartland. From the mid-eighties to the late nineties, Niall's Country show broadcast on both 2FM and RTE Radio One, and was instrumental in bringing all styles of American Country and Roots music to a wider audience.

RADIOHEAD AND JAZZ 3735 5
Started by Rev Jules
I have been watching recent discussions which touch on Radiohead and thought I would mention/ask why of all the major bands of the last decade they have been singled out by a new generation of jazz musicians looking for material to cover.
For example:
Brad Meldhu - Paranoid Android, Everthing In Its Right Place
Jamie Cullum - High and Dry
Christopher O'Riley - Two albums of the stuff
Why them...and by the way, original & intelligent answers please and not just, 'cos they are the best ba...

Acceptable Music For The Bus 2585 21
Started by Gar
Ever get the feeling that someone on the bus is judging your music taste through the snippets of sounds that mumur from your headphones Ever feel embrassed to turn it down a little Ever feel the need to blast it up
On the bus this morning, this fella on his way to school tapped me on the shoulder. 'Here buddy, whats that s**t ur listenin to' he grumbled. I just replied 'You wouldn't know of them'. Then he informed me that rap was the stuff that I should have on. He rapped a little with h...

2 quality new irish albums 1357 8
Started by klootfan
In the last week ive bought Joe Chesters new album and Damien Dempseys new album and i have to say that in my opinion, the quality of both is just execellent.
I was always a big fan of TSR, but that aside, joes album is just so good to listen to that ive to stop myself from playing it ( dont want to burn it out ). Some really catchy pop songs. I hope one of the Cluas reviewers have it on their list (im not the reviewing type myself).

Is this the festival which, could, in time, rival MCD!
It's great to see it give it a go and will be there even if the Tellytubbies are the main act. Am also headling along to Loud and Clear next saturday night and see that Hot Press didnt even list the gig.... too many monopolies in this country. Down with nasty MCD and Hot Press

mp3 players 1263 5
Started by sweetie
I was reading an interesting thread on www.drownedinsound.com about mp3 players and ipods in particular. Some survey in the uk says that the average user only fills 5 of their player and the general consensus is that these are only fashion accessories and people want to be seen with the white earphones and even if you do fill your player will you ever listen to everything.
Personally, I love my ipod and use it every day. Its got over 20 gigs on it and even though I haven't listened to lots o...

Polar on the move 4045 17
Started by bonzo
Just been on the polar website as I regularly do. Seems as if the lads are off to London, turning the back on the Irish scene in order to see how they get on abroad. What do people think about this
Personally think its great - although, one problem if you can't make it here the British industry isn't going to want to know you. Buy maybe, just maybe they might do it.
Good luck to them.

GIRLS WITH GUITARS 4419 29
Started by Rev Jules
Last friday, the Guardian Review published an article about female guitar bands entitled, 'What no pillow fights '
http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,1429411,00.html
The article asked the question, 'has the female rock revolution finally arrived '
This came as a bit of a suprise to me since I was a teenage fan of Suzi Quatro - who ended up swapping her electric guitar for a 12 gauge shotgun (she went into competative clay pigeon shooting) and an admirer of Sher...

Good Night Spots in Dublin 2754 27
Started by Daragh
just wondering where people go of an evening for a few pints, a chat and whatever else happens to be your pleasure,
I'm talking about just regular places, not specifically for a gig, and not necessarily a nite club, (too expensive), a good pub i suppose.
Myself, i've gotten to like Doyle's a good bit, decent music, free in and tis fair lively,
really like Karma for a few pints before heading on (3 euro a guinness)
anyone else i gotsta broaden the horizons

what next, return of breakdance-burglars robbing kitchens of their lino don't laugh, that happened in donaghmede circa 1986.

song lyrics 1617 3
Started by caps lock
Hey y'all,
just wondering if any of you have ever sang a song a million times and then suddenly one day really listened to the words and realised the real meaning. To give an example, I'm just after listening to 'I'm so Excited' the old chestnut that's always played whenever there's any event/celebration on tv. I always thought the song was about being genuinely excited about a happy event but on further inspection have come to the conclusion its about really hot sex!this song is played a ki...

Started by Punchbowl
Hi Guys, I've been off sick so I did a bit of MP3 surfing through official sites and found some stuff that it would be positively criminal not to download :
Firstly, Former Whipping Boy Ferghal McKee ( www.ferghalmckee.com ). Anyone who's never heard 'Heartworm' has missed out. Most message boards about music are peppered with references to the album so it's time to start re-living the hype. Go buy the album in your local record store and then come home and download the aboves new single from...
