For those who threw rocks and made use of a bolthole, they salute you.
Joe Donnelly writes:
We have a very long and rich heritage of Irish songwriting that deals with colonial oppression by the British. For centuries the folk tradition has cultivated hundreds of ballads and songs of protest and anger. Irish people have always gathered together to sing; it’s part of our identity as a community. This playlist, using the 1916 centenary as a platform, builds up a brief history of some of these songs.
Needs more “broad black brimmer”.
Troid!
Trick Mist – Cracking Settlement
Of this latest video from his EP ‘Jars in Rows’, Manchester-based Irish trad/electronica Gavin ‘Trick Mist’ Murray writes:
I’ve invited film makers to give their own visual interpretation of each song, entirely free from my input. The video for this tin whistle driven, electronic song was made by Graham Patterson. It’s stark and manages to be both restless and serene. If anyone in Spiddal saw some fella running around in the middle of the night with a torch and an iphone at arms length it was probably Graham making this video!

I do mashup videos of songs and films. At the weekend I released a video made of clips from Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) accompanying the song ‘Turn it Off’ by New York electronic band Phantogram. The band loved it
Your Brass Angel – Trick Mist
Manchester based electonica/tradster Gav of Triick Mist writes:
This is video No.3 from the ‘Gaps Series’. These are videos made for my EP ‘Jars in Rows’ but without my involvement in the process. Multiple artists were invited to respond to a song from the EP and in turn create a reactionary piece of video work based solely on their perception. This video created by video artist, director, editor Graham Patterson features loads of mouths floating around the place. I reckon Samuel Beckett would have definitely buzzed off it! ‘Jars in Rows’ EP is out now.
