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.

Please Share! This is a song my son Jude made as part of a campaign to stop his school – Firhouse Educate Together Secondary from being moved to City West. This would involve a journey of an hour to an hour fifteen each morning and afternoon.

Jude is on the Autism Spectrum and has had various difficulties over the years. Jude loves this school – it is amazing in so many ways. If this goes ahead I’m not sure that it will be possible for him to continue there.
