Main week for this week are releases that are due out on Friday the 10th of October and these include….

One to mention here folks…Jamie Duffy

For fans of Olafur Arnalds and Ludovico Einaudi (and all things modern classical), there is the fantastic self-titled album from the Monaghan native artist and composer Jamie Duffy released on the 10th of October via Irish record label Rubyworks.

Jamie has been played on Late Date fairly regularly over the last 6 or 9 months, and i really like what i heard ( although half asleep…Late Date my going to sleep music the last 6 or 9 months) so i was aware of him but I have listened to this album in full twice during the week, it is beautiful…a real talent and he is from these shores also which will always peak my own interest …here is a tune from it…CD and Vinyl available on the 10th October

Jamie Duffy – Solas (Official Video)

Some of ye must be thinking “is Ray making up these competitions he do be running or what….he do be all on about them and then we never hear who wins”

Well … .there were 29 people in for the Big Thief signed test pressing and I asked Mia in the shop one day for a number between 1 and 29 and she chose 17 … .17 was John O Connor so John won the big thief prize.

As for the Michael D signed test press, that went to a lad, Martin Costello … .buys a bit online from us … .we did a video of authenticity for that ( not like all ireland hurling final ticket draws!

Adam done a video so we will share it here once it’s up.

We have a nice instore on Saturday the 4th of Oct when we welcome Laura Elizabeth Hughes to the shop as she launches her album “ knots and echoes” with us.

Laura will perform songs from the record and hopefully sign some copies for folks after the performance…it is at @ 2 pm on Saturday the 4th of Oct.

Here is a lovely song from the album

Going to hand ye over to Shane now as he takes ye down the road etc…

Sound, Ray.
Hello everyone hope yere well!
Noelle and I went to a great movie yesterday, Christy. Shot in and around Cork city.
Dark and sad at times but a brilliant watch. Well worth checking out.

I won’t dawdle cos there’s been loads of stuff. Too much stuff in my opinion. But I’ll stop moaning.

Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy, Neil Young and Irish hip-hop group BRICKNASTY are the stand outs this week, I reckon. Oh and Prince.
Anyway, here’s the list. Click into the links if interested and want to know more.

Back to you so, Ray. Slán.

Thanks Shane!

Sin e for this week
Thanks for listening.
Ray, Shane, Adam and Mia.
