Wow, Easter holidays came about pretty sharpish!

While there may be the usual study panic setting in, the days are also getting nice and long, which brings us on to our new playlist - it's tentatively summery and jam-packed as ever with loads of new Irish and Intenational acts that are well worth the listen. Check it out here.

Over in the podcasts section, we've just uploaded an inteview and session with Kildare indie wonderfuls Miracle Bell. They were absolutely shattered but still pulled out all the stops on two great acoustic tracks for us. Visit their myspace here.

We'll be looking at your comments with a view to launching a new schedule in October this year.

Take our survey here & be in with a chance to win a Dell Netbook
