Thanks to a newsletter e-mail from Duke Special, advertising a show on BBC Radio Ulster, I discovered Julie Feeney, a wonderful Irish singer/songwriter.

She opened the show with a (I’m beginning to hate this over-used descriptive) haunting song called Aching. She holds the note on the ‘A’ for around 30 seconds or so while the string section seems to do the breathing. Suffice it to say, Aching is a truly beautiful song and it is the opening track on an understandably, much acclaimed debut album entitled 13 Songs.

To say Julie is articulate and educated is an understatement. I found this on Wikipedia :- “Feeney played with the Galway Youth Orchestra, studied music and psychology at University College Cork, and after moving to Dublin, graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 2002 with a master’s in music and media technologies.”

With credits from the likes of The Guardian and Sunday Times, appearances in Lord of the Dance and Riverdance, as well as an exemplorary education record, you won’t need too much convincing that ‘13 Songs’ is a top-class album and an asset to any discerning music lover’s collection.

I worked for a radio station I ran a radio station and DJ’ed on it, and there was no playlists or anything. So If I wanted to I could waltz in and play a whole album back to back. And often I played the Brilliant Trees this way…… heart n soul of dublin rock n roll. deadly buzz. I hope to see the last show.

first seen by me on Le Mag Euronews a few weeks back, got their CD “betcha bottom dollar” and put it into high personal rotation in my fav list. they list influences like The Andrews Sisters, The Boswell Sisters, Belleville Rendez-vous, Marlene Dietrich, Fred & Ginger, Kate Bush, Mike Flowers, Joan Crawford, Duckie, The Smiths, Tom Waits. isn’t Belleville Rendez-vous a film… (with similar music?)

On tour in October around the UK (no Irish dates?) they have been mixed up with the pipettes by one pop picker I know… pay attention now.. they’re called the puppini sisters…
