I was overjoyed to hear Experimenting Saturday played live on @rteradio1 ’s Folk on One last night alongside a beautiful selection of all-new and all-Irish music. I’ve said it before, but there is nothing like hearing your own song on the radio. When you’re tuned in as it goes out, it’s an amazing shared experience of listening to something you’ve made and performed - your own voice and words - as they reach people known and unknown to you in their homes and workplaces, cars and bars, towns, counties and countries. I love to imagine it airborne and travelling in those moments. When it’s night time, and dark outside, it only enhances those feelings of magic and connection. Sincerest thanks to @muireann_nica for playing my song, her kind words, and that special experience of collective listening. As an independent Irish artist doing it all myself, I’m grateful too for her support and delighted to have discovered some gorgeous new music for my summer playlist and beyond.
