Irish week: Heathers’ top 5 Irish acts right now

All this week, there will be guest posts from various people involved in different strands of Irish music – record shop owners, writers, bloggers, promoters, radio presenters, bands and more, telling us what Irish bands or artists they are really into right now.

Ellie and Louise McNamara are Heathers . Recently, the placement of ‘Remember When?’ on a Bord Failte ad has seen them appear on the Late Late and secure a marketing and distribution deal with Warners Ireland. They have just re-released their brilliant debut album Here Not There which you can buy here.
