This week, we looked back at 2023 in British and Irish music, playing some of our favourite tracks from this year, talking about musicians who have had a big year, and artists to watch for on bigger stages next year! Obviously this isn't, and can't ever be an exhaustive list, and in fact the playlist I made for this week was a lot longer than I could even fit on air, so don't come yelling at me about glaring omissions! However, I'd love to hear your music picks of the year, so get in

This week's show gives you an an exclusive invite to the coolest indie nightclubs: Club Yellow Brit Road, an indie disco of the mind. We're keeping finals season blues at bay by pumping up the energy on the dancefloors, on the kitchen floors, in the library, your ears, wherever. To be honest, the podcasted version this week is just 30 second clips of me shouting out the CFRC Funding Drive (we gotta stay on air), so it's worth finding the full show in archives (I worked real hard on the

This week, I caught up backstage with Conner Molander, guitarist, backing vocallist and multi-instrumentalist proficient in keys and the drums, of the Montreal indie rock three-piece Half Moon Run.

I'm alive! And kicking, if slightly hard against the weight of uni assignments worth 35%.

2023/09/26

This week's show is a listening party to mark 20 years of an astounding piece of art in the British music canon of the 21st century: Muse's 3rd studio album Absolution (2003). An album with an expansive and career-defining sound that launched Muse worldwide as a force to be reckoned with in rock music in the modern age, even while the album itself is hard to cage into a single genre: classical orchestral strings, Rachmaninoff-esque Romantic pianos, existential themes and the heaviest basses

This week marks the 50-year anniversary of the birth of hip-hop, far away in Bronx in NY, USA. It has since grown in legitimacy to become one of the most popular genres of music around the world. So what's happening right now in the UK and Ireland? We dove into the modern UK and Irish hip hop scenes, looking at some of the unique subgenres hip hop has spawned through collaborations and shared influences, from grime, UK drill, neo-jazz drawing from jazz and RnB particularly in London, grime-punk,
