Ross-shire Journal: “To tie in with their 25th anniversary celebrations this year at Bught Park later in the summer, a few members of Skipinnish will be playing some classic tunes from 1:30pm on Saturday, May 11 in the heart of the Eastgate Shopping Centre.”
The National: Niteworks have announced a new and final single to commemorate their last year together as a band with further tour dates in Inverness’s Eden Court and London’s The Garage also shared.
The new single, [An Toll Dubh]… is a cover of the song originally written and performed by Runrig’s Calum and Rory Macdonald.
“Bidh [Tim Armstrong a’ nochdadh] air a’ phrògram-chiùil aig Màrtainn Atherton 9f Diardaoin. B’ urrainnear èisteachd ris air an latha an seo: cambridge105.co.uk. Bidh [iad] a-mach air ceòl punc Gàidhlig agus ficsean-saidheans, agus is dòcha gun cluich e òran Mill a h-Uile Rud na ruith.”
In 2022, via the @IrishExaminer, I've been lucky enough to pursue my grá for the chats on a full-time basis.
From Ireland's neurodivergent community, its DIY arts scenes and the Irish language; to astronauts, particle physicists and gosh-dang, mother-heckin' Super Mario.
Started the year off with chats with two of the crew behind Belfast music-streaming start-up Minm - talking about the ideas and tech behind building a platform for Irish artists, and paying them fairly for their music.
My long-suppressed inner Nirvana fanboy was in a right state after speaking with cellist Lori Goldston before her Irish tour - here, she discusses playing the legendary Unplugged show, visiting Cork with Earth, and working with David Byrne.
Chats with Northern noisemakers Therapy? sprawled across two papers this year - in part one, frontman Andy Cairns talks about marking the band's anniversary two years late owing to Covid, getting back on the road, and the title and themes of their upcoming new album!
