Myself and my youngest make a Christmas song every year, but his voice has just broken, and he's still finding it, so there may not be one this year. I'm gonna post some previous ones. This one is timely. 'A Rainy Night In Soho' Nollaig 2023. Take it away, Seán. X youtu.be/JNVzL12ATyQ?...

I feel very honoured to be a part of this wonderful project. Thank you. 'The Stranger's Grave' is out in the world today. X bringyourownhammerpresents.bandcamp.com/track/the-st...

It was an absolute pleasure to sing on this gorgeous song. X

miriamingram1.bandcamp.com/album/trampo... 'Trampoline' will be 20 next year. Whaaat? It seems like yesterday that I dreamt this bassline. Made all the better by the wonderful.Trevor Hutchinson. I wrote the lyrics on a bus home from Galway. Might do an anniversary gig. Hmm... strokes chin again...

A little over a year ago, I got a bee in my bonnet, and had to put The Lady of Shalott to music. Was I a little obsessed? Maybe. Anyway, I did it. I'd love to perform it live someday with singers and musicians. Hmm... [strokes chin] miriamingram1.bandcamp.com/track/the-la...

We had a beautiful day in the studio yesterday with Colin J Morris, his daughter, Joni Morris and my niece, Annabelle Leddy. Sweet harmony... My new album is nearly finished. X

As interesting and beautiful as their Whelan's show promised. An unusual take on country showband music (in part!) Sweet vocals floating over robust drums and loads of skewed, broken ambient stuff going on beneath. Comforting + disconcerting at the same time. X riverlea.bandcamp.com/album/all-sm...

I was reminded of this tonight. Released by Wastefellow in 2019. I know it's my son, and I am biased, but seriously, isn't it bloody great! And the coolest, cleverest video ever. X youtu.be/5476KUy-YcU?...

Aww! Can't believe this is only two years ago. He's now twice as tall, and his voice has broken. Some furtive footage of Seán singing Nothing Compares at his last school concert in primary school. X

Thank you so much for including me. X

Another rainy day song from my EP 'Spells'. I'm listening to this for the first time in five years. Wasn't sure what I'd think with a bit of distance. Happy to say, I'm happy! :) miriamingram1.bandcamp.com/track/emptying

miriamingram1.bandcamp.com/track/a-tiny... It's been lashing all day here. This feels like a rainy day song to me. X

In The Meadows. What a great day. I am one proud Mammy! Other highlights- Gilla Band. I missed Iggy. Heard he was phenomenal. X

If anyone's heading to In The Meadows festival on Saturday (Iggy Pop headlining) - be sure to catch my son's band Really Good Time on The Middle Stage at 16.45. They are, eh, really good. youtu.be/PwCkRO_3wm0?...

Seán putting Ferdia through his paces.

And here are a couple of pics of Diol in the control room of the Athens session.

I'm so proud of Diolmhain. Here's an orchestra in Athens performing one of his pieces in a studio yesterday. Can't wait to hear the whole thing. X

Go raibh míle maith agat, Cian for playing my song, 'Ten Today' on your excellent show last night. Fascinating music. It's an honour to be included. www.rte.ie/radio/rnag/a...

I started writing this little toon 3 years ago, in anticipation of the 10th anniversary of my daughter Róisín's birth, and sadly death, buy I've only just sat down and finished and recorded it (here in my kitchen).It's actually her 13th anniversary today. X miriamingram1.bandcamp.com/track/ten-to...

I had such a beautiful, productive day in the studio with Diol yesterday. It is so special making music with him. And mixing in all the gorgeous playing of the other musicians. What a joy. X

Great, infectious new song and video from Diol and the lads - Really Good Time. X youtu.be/jEGlBCGjDOY?...

@jetfury.bsky.social Your Pitchfork perfect 10 albums popped up on one of my feeds, and as a result, I just listened to Silver Apples. Janey Mac! Thanks for that. Brilliant stuff.

Hmm... I wonder what time it is? Let me consult with the living sun dials...

The best of luck to my son Diol et al - Really Good Time, who are hopping on a plane today to play @sxsw.com I'm so excited for them. Here's one of their songs. youtu.be/31XB_GJjE68?...

A billion years ago, I did a bit of singing with Frances Cranny on Dee Armstrong's (Kíla) solo album. That album, Deichtine's Daughter, has finally seen the light of day, and it's gorgeous. Bualadh bos to Dee and all the fine musicians who played on it. X deearmstrong.bandcamp.com/album/deicht...

Wow! We were completely blown away - in particular by Sophie O'Donovan's film, 'Would You Rather'. So brilliant. And Diol's score was perfect. I hope you all get to see it sometime soon. X

In anticipation of the premiere of Sophie O'Donovan's film, 'Would You Rather' at Dublin Film Festival tomorrow, Diolmhain has released this beautiful EP. It really is stunning. Can't wait to see the film tomorrow. X wastefellow.bandcamp.com/album/themes...

Diol wrote the music for this and another film (that I'll tell you about tomorrow) which are both premiering in the Dublin Film Festival this Friday. I can't wait to hear/see them. X

Please sign. I have a vested interest in this, in that my son is a lecturer there, as are some of my mates. 'Restructuring'? It's cost-cutting bullshit is what it is. www.change.org/p/prevent-re...

Aww! Thanks so much @liliansmith.bsky.social for playing myself and Seán's Christmas song, "The Power Of Love" on Rising Time this morning. So lovely. X www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

Nollaig shona, Happy Christmas everyone. Myself and my youngest, Seán make a song/card every year. Here's this year's one. Have a beautiful one. Xxx youtu.be/cjNbd2odEhk?...

@beakbristol.bsky.social were intoxicating last night in Dublin. I mean, I did have a few pints too, but ya know... :) Great to share the experience with my fella (not pictured), my son and my mate. A brilliant show. Thank you. X
