My my, this certainly has been a busy season for Irish music-makers (or maybe we’re just hearing more about them these days) – Cathal Coughlan, Keeley, Lori Sky (formerly Lorraine McCauley), Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell – so much goodness flowing from the Emerald Isle.

Cat Dowling who is gearing up to release her new single “Freedom” on Friday. Cat Dowling’s vocals, melodicism, and pop sensibility are brilliant. Fleetwood Mac, Metric, Daughter, Kristin Hersh, Feist, and Marina all come to mind when listening to this sublime offering.
