The New Year is here. We can all agree that 2020 was a lost year, and 2021’s motor revved but never left the driveway. Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of music touching on promises, new beginnings, and the new year. Here’s to 2022 being just maybe a little brighter.
Our New Year’s collection of artists this week: Peter Nardini & Battlefield Band; Siobhan Miller; The Ivy Leaf; Niamh Ní Charra; Alan Kelly; The House Devils; The Alt; Allan MacDonald; The Fire; Méabh O’Hare & Conor Byrne; The Outside Track; and Lúnasa.
Our FairPlé score this week: 58
