I shall be dropping the reins….the lads will have it…anything they dont i will pick up when i’m back….i won’t be answering or engaging on email etc with anyone if its work related.
It’s been nearly a year since I had a week off … .so I’m looking forward to the break ( taking another week in August!)
If you email the lads and don’t get a response, then chase it up as no response means maybe not seen … .we get about 1000 emails a week from record companies/ customers etc… .so if no response get back on to the lads.

Maith an fear, Ray!!
Hello all! Hope ye’re well!
A good few ceolteoiri Eireannach to mention today!
First up, there’s a new ‘Certified Gold’ gold vinyl edition of KNEECAP – Fine Art coming in September.
They’ve had a massive few years. Fair play to them for standing up what’s right too.
There’s a self-tiled debut album coming from RÚN on CD and LP on August 22nd.
Here’s a bit about it:
“The Irish word Rún can mean secret, mystery, or love, or perhaps some elusive combination of the three, reflecting the many aspects of life that defy easy explanation. In wrestling with these, it can become necessary to commit oneself entirely, to jump in at the deep end in search of the vibrations and feelings at hand. This is where the band Rún comes in.
The debut album of Rún is the result of three powerful artists – Tara Baoth Mooney, Diarmiud MacDiarmada and Rian Trench – locking horns and forming a spiritually intrepid outfit who alchemies experimental methods and improvisatory states to reach intimidating heights of sonic and psychic intensity. An extremely diverse range of musical influences also make their presence felt here, from William Basinski and Pauline Oliveros to Om, Coil and The Necks.”
SPRINTS are back with a new album, ‘All That is Over’ on September 26th.
Here’s a tune, nice and rocking: https://youtu.be/GgEwtp17RPM?si=T7Z6_qFhwTjMnr2B
We’ll have CD, black vinyl and indies ‘lemon’ vinyl.
And there’s also new albums from NIALL MCNAMEE – Glass and Mirrors (October) and M’ADAM – Before We Die (End of July).
