NO ENCORE #042 | Spoiled For Choice
The RTE Choice Music Prize, that is. This week, your NO ENCORE wrecking crew boasts a roundtable of academic music-related excellence as it welcomes back Kieran McGuinness of Delorentos fame alongside your regular trio of Dave, Craig and Colm.
On the agenda – why, the aforementioned rundown of the apparent Top 10 best Irish albums of 2016, but like Highlander there can be only one. Luckily, a wealth of experience is on hand to guide you through it all. Not only that, but there’s an in-depth look at how to navigate the sonic waters of one David Bowie and all the usual rigmarole.
