Choice Music Prize nominees Saint Sister
This afternoon.
Via RTÉ News:
The Covid support scheme for the music industry supported 318 artists alongside 817 music industry professionals, according to figures released by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
The Music Stimulus Scheme, worth €1.7m gave 185 artists recording grants, creating employment for 694 musicians, while 56 artists were supported to release new music.
Among the artists receiving funding were Denise Chaila, Saint Sister, Kojaque and Elaine Mai.
A number of recipients went on to be nominated for awards including the Choice Music Prize and the RTÉ Radio One Folk Awards…
In fairness.

RTE: “our wonderful brilliant government of who we surrender our faith to, made artists better than ever with their unbridled support”
reality: “our government gave financial support to a tiny portion of artists, and only to the artists who need it less than any others or for many, didnt need it at all”
So true, Dr Fart but, always, where there are Insiders, there are Outsiders. The government’s implementation of the insane Covid policies demanded by the Globalists devastated the more independent end of the live music scene, which had been in rude health.
Nevertheless, I’m back in rehearsal, the show must go on, the vultures must be fed.
Saint Sister are absolutely brilliant. Saw them play in the Olympia Sunday before last and they were fantastic. Incredible to watch live.
