My Year in Music – March 2026
March is easy… I think. I wouldn’t actually know. I spent most of it working or playing Genshin. Very productive, aren’t I? The good thing is that summer time has started in Ireland; the days are getting longer and the weather is getting better kind of (not really). For the first time in a while,…

In Depth Mini Album Review – Big Ocean’s THE GREATEST BATTLE
Honestly, coming into this review, I constantly thought of Big Ocean as very different from me despite the fact that, as K-pop idols go, they are perhaps the most like me. Much like me (Emma), the members of Big Ocean are all hard of hearing in some capacity. Formed under Parastar Entertainment, Big Ocean consists…

My Year In Music – February 2026
Well, it seems February has come to an end. A month where I worked too much and didn’t/couldn’t give myself the breaks I needed. In my defence, I wasn’t exactly given much choice when it came to rest. But now I think I can pause and think long enough to prepare this post for you…

Intro to K-Pop 101
So, I heard that an Irish radio show was discussing K-pop and Stray Kids lately (and they didn’t invite me? Rude!), so I think it’s only right that I offer you all the opportunity to experience some of the best (in my opinion) that the K-pop industry has to offer. Class is now in session,…

What Keeps Me Awake At Night
So, in a sharp 180 degree shift of tone from our last post, let’s get serious(ish). Let’s talk about sleep…. Or, more accurately, my lack thereof. “You’re a horrible person.”“I know. It keeps me awake at night.”Stiles Stilinski, Teen Wolf Don’t worry, I don’t think I’m a horrible person but I’m sure some people do…

2FM Rising Galway
This one is incredibly long overdue all. So sit back and enjoy this blog post about my recent trip to Galway for RTÉ Rising with Laoise, Chasing Abbey and Jyellowl. As soon as the gig was announced in my old university town with some of my favourite acts, any excuse to visit the land of…

Dear 16 Year Old Me
I spend a lot of my time looking for writing ideas in my free time and I found one that really caught my interest: If you could go back in time to 16 years of age with all the knowledge you currently possess what would you do/what would you say to your 16 year old…

Catching Feelings
Welcome to my world, do come in. Have a seat and please don’t touch the self-esteem, it’s fragile at the best of times. Anyhoo, hi, how are ya? This is the insane asylum that is my mind and today we’re going to have a nice little chat. If you’ve been reading the blog for a…

October’s Monthly Round-Up
October is over and it has been a crazy month. Spooky season has ended and it is creeping closer to Christmas. We were in London and saw the wonderful Coronas, the ever fabulous Ruthanne in Dublin and I (Emma) got to see the kick off of the Wild Youth winter tour in Cork and hear…

Champagne Butterflies – Wild Youth Gig Review
That title is a track to listen out for. A brand new song (click the link to read a full review of the Champagne Butterflies single) to kick off a brand new tour. A song that I can only hope makes an appearance as a single in the future or on an EP because that…

Rewrite The Stars, a balancing act.
“Rewrite The Stars” When you read those three words together what comes to mind? Is it Zac Efron and Zendaya’s epic performance of it during ‘The Greatest Showman’? James Arthur and Ann-Marie’s remastered version of the same song? Or, maybe, that you have the power to pave out your own fate? For me that song…

Matters of the Heart – Ruthanne
With a newly released debut album, “Matters of the Heart”, and dates in The Academy in Dublin and in Colours in London, Ruthanne really seems unstoppable right now. With more songwriter credits than any normal human being would know what to do with, you think she’d be happy to rest on her laurels but, thankfully,…
