Hello folks. This is Aoife here, voice of the Nialler9 podcasts. I’m writing to announce the uploading of a brand-spanking sparkly new podcast.*
I’m going to try to add to our podcast output by including a monthly-ish podcast focusing on Irish music. It will be in no way a replacement of our regular monthly podcasts, which will continue as normal. We’re recording the next one this weekend before Nialler heads off to SXSW on Monday (jealous!).
To whet your appetite, below you’ll find the mp3 of our first Irish Nialler9 podcast. I would really love your feedback on it. Do you like the format? What kind of stuff would you like to hear on an Irish podcast? Would you like it to be interview based or just tracks? We are also opening up the forum to giving our new podcast a name. Aoife Mc’s Paddy Whack Trax Attack is a strong contender at the moment, but we could use a few more ideas so comment below if you have any.
On this podast, you’ll hear tracks from Tenaka, The Mighty Stef, The Ambience Affair, Cashier no9 as well as an interview with the really lovely and hoigely talented Conor O’Brien from Villagers.
I really hope you like it

This was excellent although I would have chosen a different Stef song. I have been gleefully busting out Golden Gloves at every available opportunity lately.
great stuff Aoife. will there always be an interview section?
It’s a great idea to showcase the Irish scene, well done for that. I was just curios as to whether it’s strictly Indie etc.? If you were ever thinking of delving into other genres there’s a few guys on the electronic scene beginning to make a bit of a splash (no affiliation to me). I just thought if you were going broaden the genres of the podcast they’d definitely deserve a mention. One guy in particular…..

Tell Nialler9 to give this dude a listen if he hasn’t heard of him yet.

Hi Dave – spudcast! Absolutely brilliant. I wasn’t sure at first about the Shane McGowan / Mighty Steff track seeing as McGowan sounds like a broken parrot singing through a wind tunnel on it, but I listened to it again a few times and it grew on me. You’re probably right though, there are songs on 100 Midnights that showcase Stef more than that track. I guess folks will have to go buy it now!
Floyd.pepper – I would really like there to always be an interview section. What do you think? Would you like that or not?
Thanks Davin – it wouldn’t be strictly indie at all. We would aim to highlight folks from loads of different genres and try to give a broad picture of what’s going on.
Had a listen to Grizzle – savage!
Feel free to email me at aoifemcelwain[at]gmail[dot]com if you have other feedback that you don’t want to air publicly!
Great Tack Altogether, keep up the fantastic job!
