Music from the Heart

Irish singer/songwriter Davie Furey released his new single, Stargazer, just last week.  Written by Davie Furey, it is produced, mixed and mastered by Martin Quinn in JAM Studios.  It is his third single taken from a collection of songs being recorded for a new album, which is set for release in 2023.  Previous releases, Downtown Parade reached number 2 in iTunes Rock Charts in 2022 and History, reached number 1 on the iTunes rock charts earlier in 2022.  Stargazer also includes the stunning vocals of Navan singer/songwriter Joy Booth. 

Louis McTeggart from Derry. Northern Ireland,  has been working in the music industry for over 20 years. As a musician and covers artist he has travelled the world performing on cruise ships and ferries and as a songwriter he has had his music featured on TV, film and radio and played in some fantastic venues throughout Britain and Ireland. Louis' last single, “Beat of the Drum” brought him some amazing success as the song was played on mainstream and community radio throughout Ireland and on independent stations around the globe. He also appeared on several stations to promote it.

How best describe Herald K as a musical artist? A Folk Noir singer/songwriter might just capture it. Born in Bergen, Norway, into a family of sailors, he soon set out for other shores, and has since lived in England, Sweden and Austria. His current centre of gravity: Vienna. While his lyrics may allude to ancient poets, they're often conveyed trough a simple 3-chord composition. Traces of Americana are there, yet it has a European feel too. If Leonard Cohen is an influence, Hank Williams and Ovid would have to be mentioned also. Herald K's uniqueness is his way of combining sources of inspiration such as these.

Krea, (pronounced Kree-ah) the moniker taken on by Irish singer-songwriter Karen Cowley, is set to release her latest single 'Don't Tell Me' on March 23rd. This release follows Krea's success in the Irish music scene, having previously released two no. 1 albums as part of indie band Wyvern Lingo, and collaborations with Denise Chaila and Hozier on his debut album duet, ‘In A Week’.

Pete and Tom are two gentlemen, living and working in Dublin, Ireland. Tom has worked as an actor, songwriter, playwright, producer and theatre director over the years while Pete has written songs, played in various bar bands. Back in the 80’s Pete played bass in Tom’s spectacularly unsuccessful band. The band failed on such a scale that even in the age of the internet its name remains unrecorded and forgotten.

There is a lot to be said about how fate or destiny – or whatever you want to call it - can take people in many different, surprising, and life-changing directions. For instance, if Colyne Laverriere hadn’t asked her mother for one more chance to stay in Ireland, and if her search for a paying job hadn’t taken her to West Cork’s Ballydehob, then she would surely never have met Julie O’Sullivan, a Ballydehob resident and aspiring songwriter.

Dimple Discs (who have released groundbreaking Irish music from Telefis, Cathal Coughlan, Keeley, Eileen Gogan with Sean O'Hagan, and more) are thrilled to announce the new single from revered Irish composer/musician Ger Eaton (pronounced Jair, short for Gerard). A multi-Instrumentalist, Songwriter, Hair Stylist and Retro-Vintage Aficionado, this iconic and stylish gentleman is most recently known as keyboardist/guitarist for Dublin alt-rock heroes The Pale. Indeed, Ger has been a mainstay of the Irish music scene for many years as a member of Premonition (EMI), Las Vegas Basement (Columbia), Les Marionettes, Pugwash, The Carnival Brothers and many solo and collaborative recordings. Throughout this time he also recorded and toured extensively with, among others, Mundy, Duke Special, Jack L and Fionn Regan, playing everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to the ‘Later With Jools Holland’ TV Show.

Fergal Nash is a singer/songwriter who hails from Limerick, Ireland. Specializing in catchy pop/rock guitar tunes along with quieter ballads. He released his well-received debut album “Take It Over” in 2013 (“Rather Excellent” Alan Owens, Limerick Leader.)  and "Pieces of Everything"  is his second offering, released in 2015 & featuring a rawer more direct sound, but retaining the melodies & axe hooks. He now releases his new single “Spite Doesn’t Matter”.  It was again produced by rising Cambridgeshire U.K maestro Martin John, (who oversaw Nash’s previous 3 singles that have amassed over 50,000 Spotify streams!) “It’s an anti-begrudgery and anti- bullying anthem” remarks Nash,  “if you ignore them they lose.”

If there is one modern folk pop artist who has seen the harsh realities in life, it is Michael Lane himself. Sent to Iraq and Afghanistan as a US soldier in his twenties, Michael was
forced into cruelty and that Face the ugly. If his previous albums were like a kind of musical diary in which these experiences were processed, one notices that with his new album, Michael Lane regained lightheartedness and joy. „Remember The Days“ is a message of hope and the positive certainty that a time of crisis and reflection will lead people back to the important things.
