It was a pleasure to join Rigsy and his team on BBC Northern Ireland’s premiere music show Across The Line last night. In the interest of cross-border spirit and collaboration, we played each other tracks from the North and South including music from the South from Darling, James Vincent McMorrow, Somadrone, Tvvins, Spies, and from the North: We Are Aerials (interesting Derry songerwriter), No Longer Neon (unashamed 80s synth pop), Dollaghan (Libertines lo-fi indie), UNKNWN and more.
Hit the BBC site for the full show, I join Rigsy at 1 hour and 18minutes in.
