Having a good summer? Is it hot enough for you? Because it’s not where we are. Humid? Most definitely. Hot? No! No. Definitely not. This month we’re celebrating Niamh, our resident graphic designer who celebrates her birthday in July. Some of these songs aren’t typical choices for me but they are songs I feel would suit Niamh or they’re songs I know she likes. As I was typing this, I did ask myself (and Niamh) if I should explain all my choices as clearly as I did last month but, this time, I feel like if you get it, you get it. And if you don’t? Well then….. Listen closely and you might learn (or don’t I can’t tell you what to do).
August has arrived and it means that summer is ending. Here’s hoping that those of you who celebrate had a blessed Lughnasadh, which is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals. We are trying our best to keep up with our hectic work lives and we escaped to Amsterdam for a weekend and what a wonderful trip back to my adopted homeland it was (I love you Netherlands <3). So, it’s time to give you a monthly playlist and our overall playlist and let you know what’s coming up in this month’s additions.
