Description
On this third Fresh Éire installment, Dónal goes digging for fire among a plethora of new Irish releases.
There's a written response to Anna Mieke's magnificent sophomore album Theatre and a tribute to the independent Dublin label Where The Time Goes with a couple of examples of dynamic recent releases from them in the shape of Jennifer Moore and Seán Being.
There's also the return of Meltybrains? to celebrate, a glorious Captain Beefheart cover from Niamh Regan to marvel over and fresh sounds to enjoy from young producers Kobina, Gaptoof and Brién.
The last word goes to Ian Lynch whose debut solo album as One Leg, One Eye is one for the ages.
