Two lovely nights celebrating the release of @anniemacmanus’ new book ‘The Mess We’re In’ ft. fellow Irish legend @weemissbea, a crowd of Irish women (who’s toilet craic was on point, as you’d expect), an Irish pub, Irish music, lots of lovely faces I haven’t seen in a while and plenty of Taytos.
Barca in April. A slight upgrade from inter railing days and crisp sandwiches🍹🥂🫑🥐☀️ 💫
For a very sunny bank holiday soundtrack you can listen back to my latest show. I promise its a great addition. Hour two starts with Arrested Development and runs through an incredibly uplifting mix of old disco and soul (👉🏻 Booker T, Horse Meat Disco and Candi Staton). Perfect for the sunshine ☀️☀️☀️☀️
Just one of the songs you’ll hear tonight. Coming up Live 6-8pm. To welcome longer nights, there is a full half hour of disco and soul with Booker T, Horse Meat Disco and Candi Staton. COME ON.
A reminder not to take all song titles literally (wait for why) but Snap To It! Is the song I need to boot me into spring. Spoke to @closecounters about the new album Soulacoasta II. Asked them about my take and favourite title.
Happy International Women’s Day from me and my best bitch (Joy).
Tune in 6-8pm. This photo is exactly how my guests tonight @closecounters will make you feel. It was taken at a friends wedding and sent to me recently. It just so happens to summarise my exact mood when listening to Soulacoasta II, the new album from Close Counters. So excited to have them on the show tonight 💫 soul, house, jazz, broken beat and samples - a seamless DJ set style album which we talk about making including a video set in London and one of a girl dancing on her own 🙋🏼‍♀️
Are you even northern? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Aisha has a different view on the beginning of the year and I like it. Anyone else happy it’s February? Had a massive laugh with @aishhwilliams last week sharing tracks that make us feel happy, introducing you to new discoveries and old loves, talking Lauryn Hill (anyone heard of her? - this question will make sense), music to sleep to, winter sun and music tastes, of course. The music is a lovely mix with soul, DANNCEEE, rap, indie, r&b and some modern jazz. Warning some of it is an ear worm.
Live now on @reformradio til 8pm. 😊 Tune in. Soon to be joined by the lovely @aishhwilliams here to say bye to January!
It’s finally the end of January so to say good riddance I’m back in the studio and I’ve invited @aishhwilliams ➡️ (who presents Happy Hour) to come and share some songs which have got her through grey, dark January. Can’t wait to have her in. Two music lovers sharing what they love. Going to be a blast. 6 to 8pm.
Right then 2023, what ya got?
Ireland for the first time and my first ever Guinness ☘️🇮🇪 overdue. Cheers to new things…
For the last days of 2022 when you’ve maxed out on Christmas music, I thought I’d share some things you might fancy listening to when you’re travelling or chilling pre NY (plus some pics of Joy the dog at Christmas, because she’s cute)…
Inspiration for 2023 from @terra__kin which can be applied to so many things. Hannah (Terra Kin) has worked with @fredagainagainagainagainagain, supported @kokorokomusic, @pipmillett, @macygray, all before releasing music! Here’s how.
Tonight 6-8pm, my ✨highlights of 2022 show, all favourite releases plus @terra__kin joins me to talk about the new EP ‘Too Far Gone’ which came out in October and life as an artist so far. Undoubtedly my favourite new artist of 2022 (we initially spoke at Connect) so had to finish the year with them coming on the show, their music has been a solace.
