“Thought you might give this a plug – a friend of mine just released this. He’s a young, talented Irish musician who good cause aside deserves some exposure. The single is 99c, all the proceeds go to Breast Cancer Ireland. Thank you.”

Bring Your Mind – Faune
Dublin electronic duo’s stonking debut single.
Sarah writes:
“This is our very first video, produced by the fantastic ‘Cube Media’ ( who are very close with the legendary Exchequer St boy). The whole thing cost under €500 ( as a very kind favour from the Cube Media lads) and basically involved us throwing crystals at our face and swinging a disco ball around.”

The Strypes – Hard To Say No
Jenny writes:
Another Strypes video for their new single shot in the Town Hall in Cavan over Christmas where the lads played three gigs. Makes the Town Hall look shit cool in my opinion…. it’s mostly just used for Bingo.

Youth Mass – Dream On
Bob [Gallagher] and Tony [Flynn] write:
This is a video we made for a band called Youth Mass from Trim [co Meath]. The video is set at a small family gathering brimming with simmering dysfunctionality. The whole thing was improvised in a day with a mix of professional and first time actors…
Fair play though.

Melancholic, cinematic tinkling?
Of a Friday?
Oh go on then.
The Front – Conor Walsh
Conor writes:
I’m just wondering if you might be able to help me out with a vote in the shortlist for this years Other Voices Derry competition. I’ve made a shortlist of 5 acts, one of which will perform at ‘Other Voices’ live event in Derry in a few weeks. The shortlist has been put out to public vote. I’m not a fan of mixing music with voting but this is really such a massive opportunity. The performance will be recorded live and shown on the ‘Other Voices’ TV show. I don’t know if you know the Other Voices show/festival but it’s internationally renowned and has featured some amazing artists like John Grant, Villagers, David Gray, Amy Winehouse. A share [or even a vote] would be really appreciated.
Watch and listen above.
Then VOTE here
