What started out as a non-theme set for this hour, Katie Marie and Joe discovered after four tracks that all the albums were released in 2022, so we decided to keep up that impromptu theme. There were so many extraordinary releases in 2022 that we couldn’t get to them all, but you can enjoy the ones we managed to squeeze in.
This week, we feature Niamh Dunne; Barry Kerr; Bua; Cathal Ó Curráin; Custy & McNamara; John Carlos; The Blackwater Céilí Band; Brian Hughes & Dave Sheridan; The Chieftains; Ruth Keggin & Rachel Hair; The Kane Sisters; Micho Russell; Ian McKenna, Joe De Georgeo & Brian Miller; Kinnfolk; Rachel Walker & Aaron Jones; and Nathan Gourley & Laura Feddersen
