February 2010 Playlist

The dust has settled on January and "its going to be huge in 2010" lists, so we've had a bit of time to digest and ruminate. A few certain things; Delphic and Yeasayer are going to continue their ascent, Irish music is going to have another bumper year (see the 8 native acts out of 19 on this month's list for proof) and the releases for the first quarter of 2010 are going to be low key, but nonetheless rewarding.

We've distilled over 200 much blogged tracks into this year's first playlist, which you can stream and peruse here.

Moving and shaking!

We've moved... mostly!

Where is it? Down the back of Áras na MacLéinn, NUI Galway on the ground floor.

The studios aren't quite ready for full operations, so we'll be playing pre-recs and repeats for the next while, but volunteers can now pre-record their shows in the new building.

What's left to do? We're waiting for internet to be installed so the webstream's down, but the transmitter's working, so go with the FM flow!

When is it open to the public? Take a trot down to the back of Áras na Mac Léinn, if we're about, we'll gladly give you the tour. The official opening date ties in with full schedule; Monday 19th of October.

In the midst of all the move chaos we had a student radio blogger from the US drop in to visit us, (making it past all the construction work and barriers!) she took some wonderful photos of the old building, and did us a top-notch write-up, which you can find on her blog Spinning Indie

Stream playlist tracks here.
