I feel I should share with you all my complete admiration, and devotion to, the Irish Music scene. For those of you not aware, which is a far larger number of you than it should be, there is a vibrant and inspiring Irish music scene. There are incredibly talented bands, like thehotsprockets, theeskies, val normal, overhead the albatross, and the link put forward here, The Minutes.

All hail the Sprockets. Having earned a flock of new fans with the funky thump that was 'Soul Brother', the Dubliners have taken a step back and followed it with something altogether more reflective, poignant and downright beautiful. The video - courtesy of Hugh O'Connor - is an absolute dream too.  // www.thehotsprockets.com
