With half the world currently stuck indoors, I can’t be alone in really missing gigs. I’ve long been a huge fan of NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts, which I find often give artists a chance to portray themselves in a totally different light to their more conventional activities. Adele and Alt-J’s double appearance in particular stand out on that front.
So I thought why not combine two of my favourite musicy things, the Tiny Desk Concerts and the Irish music scene, and simply throw every single Irish act ever to have appeared on the channel into one post. It’s fair to say this is pretty elite company… (yes, we’re claiming Rodrigo Y Gabriela, for all that busking back in the day!)…
