As you probably know, Bandcamp are giving the revenue from sales directly to artists today so it’s a good day to support your favourites, if u can.
My album and some older stuff are here [at link below], including an album demo called limelight that didn’t make the cut.
@mike_mcgb @Bandcamp Hello Mike, they will be counted from the 1st January 2017

Off the heels of the news that the UK Official Charts Company will be taking over the running of the various music sales charts in Ireland,..
…is the frankly much better news that sales from bandcamp.com, the main online music delivery service utilised by a vast majority of independent artists and labels in Ireland, will be counted as part of the overall tally on a weekly basis.
This is massive news for independent & DIY Irish artists and labels despite the fragmentation of the music market and the resultant changes in relevance the charts have undergone.
Fight!
