Celebrate St Patrick's Day with a fresh batch of must-hear interviews featuring some of Ireland0s finest artists, from rising pop stars to indie icons, all right here on Today Radio.
St Patrick’s Day is here, and what better way to celebrate than by spotlighting some of the incredible Irish artists we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing on Today Radio? We already listed and linked to five great interviews but we love bands from the emerald isle so much that we've got another five here for you.
Cian Ducrot
Cian Ducrot has quickly become one of Ireland’s most exciting pop talents, blending heartfelt lyrics with a truly excellent vocal and a dash of genius social marketing. We talked about his meteoric rise, singing in an Irish accent and going global.
Gavin James
Gavin James is brilliant performer and in this chat with Sam he talks about getting started playing pub gigs in Dublin, moving from working solo to working with a band, starting to work on the production side of things and his forthcoming album Gold Rush. Win tickets to see gavin on Today Radio this Wednesday ahead of his show at Op der Schmelz on Friday.
Sprints
Is there a radio station that plays Sprints as much as Today Radio? We would doubt it. We try catch them any time they come to town and in this interview Sarah Tapp chats mostly about their debut album Letters To Self which had just been released at the time of recording.

Rick McMurray (Ash)
Sam Steen caught up with Rick McMurray from Ash as the band was gearing up to release their latest album, Race The Night. They discussed the band’s evolution, their songwriting process, sticking around for as long as they have and all the while Sam tried not to pass out because he loves this band so much. If you listen closely you can just about hear the moment he blacks out, hits his head on the table and wakes up again. It's quiet but it's there.

Alan Duggan (Gilla Band)
Before there was Fontaines DC there was Gilla Band, without them the music scene in Ireland would be a whole lot less interesting. Influential, inspiring, intense, they're monsters in the music scene but Alan is the nicest guy there is in this fun chat about their last album, tour and ongoing legacy.
Maybe you've got Girl From Mars on repeat, maybe you're rocking out to the latest Sprints single, maybe you're getting ready to see Gavin James in Luxembourg this week!
