Four songs from the Dublin show arrive on streaming this Thursday, with the full concert going up on YouTube for one weekend only and a 10″ vinyl on pre-order.
CMAT is marking the first anniversary of EURO-COUNTRY with a live release taken from her St Anne’s Park headline show.
EURO-COUNTRY (Live at St Anne’s) collects four songs from the Dublin gig, which took place on May 30th this year, and lands on streaming services this Thursday August 27th.
The songs are: ‘The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station’, ‘When A Good Man Cries’, Running/Planning’, and ‘Euro-Country’.
There is a physical edition too, and it is a first for her: a 10″ vinyl release, available in a EURO-COUNTRY blue pressing and a store-exclusive green edition limited to 500 copies. Every green copy comes with an art card signed by CMAT. It is a pre-order, with copies due to ship in early November.

Anyone who missed the show, or wants to see it again, gets a window this weekend. The full concert, recorded at St Anne’s Park in Raheny, goes up on CMAT’s YouTube channel from 7pm on Friday August 28th and stays there until 11pm on Monday August 31st.
The St Anne’s date was one of two outdoor headliners announced last year for Dublin and Cork, and it capped a run that has seen EURO-COUNTRY win the Choice Music Prize and take Best Album at the Ivor Novello Awards.
There is a bit of merch theatre attached to the anniversary as well. Every music purchase from the official store over the next week, vinyl, CD or cassette, comes with a one-off CMAT EURO note. Not legal tender, as the announcement is careful to point out.
CMAT plays Electric Picnic this weekend.
