Music Mondays

Every Friday night my husband waits for RTE to air The Late Late Show and then streams it from the computer onto the TV.  For those who don't know, The Late Late Show is Ireland's most popular  depressing chat show. Even if we are out and about and come home in the wee hours he is still eager to watch before he goes it bed. Maybe it's a connection from home that he likes to hold onto. I ask he why he watches when it's a sure bet the featured guest(s) will be telling a sob story about all the tragic events in their life. He says, "the show is shite, but sure ye all watch it for the craic."  I say, no thank you! The last thing I want to on a Friday night after a long week is watch a 2 hour long program full of downers and sad tales. HOWEVER, from time to time I can't help but catch it. This past week was one of those times. And, hello, musical guest!! I was instantly blown away by Jake Bugg's performance.

Swoon!

This guy is an old soul exuding musical goodness from every pore! Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY0oPg1h8fQ 

Can't believe he's 18!!!!!

Also - really diggin' on the latest album from Two Gallants called The Bloom and the Blight. Here they are singing Winter's Youth, the 7th track off the record. Mmmmm, the gritty, raw, soul- bearing tunes that these two guys create gives me Goosebumps!  

They are playing at Lincoln Hall June 26. We are hoping to see them, but may not make it. We have seen them a couple of times before, but hey, sometimes you just can't win them all.

I hope everyone has happy ears to happy hearts!

Happy Music Monday! xoxo
