After Eight Show - New Music You Just Don't Hear Anywhere Else!

We had wardrobes full of #NewMusic in our playlist! An eclectic mix of original, intelligent, melodic, grown-up songs - #electronic, #rnb, #jazz, #blues and #acoustic. And mostly from artists who you have not heard of - yet! Think 'next series of Jools' - that's the kind of artists that we play. Mick Flannery's song 'Run A Mile' is a very moving one and has been used in a campaign to support victims of domestic violence - particularly during this pandemic. We gave out details of how to donate to support victims in Ireland, the USA and the UK. In 2001, Gillian Welch released her song Ruination Day Part 2 which was about 3 momentous events in American history which all occurred on April 14th. They were the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the Titanic disaster and the Black Sunday dust storm of 1935. Lauren O'Connell has just released a brilliant cover version of the song which will be on her forthcoming album but, in the meantime, we played it as our Luvva Cover feature in our show.
