On this episode, Dónal trawls through a significant bunch of homegrown releases in search of gold. Indicative of just how healthy a state Irish music is in right now, he finds it aplenty.

There's a wide range of styles to admire and enjoy from Lisa O'Neill's glorious return with Old Note to Eoghan O Ceannabháin's modern take on sean-nós, to fresh and invigorating sounds from a slew of artists whose careers are in their embryonic like CoEx, Trick Mist, LOSHH and Oliveyolive. There's also time to marvel at the latest instrumental offering from Jape as well as ground-breaking new releases from Elaine Howley, Aoife Nessa Frances and Natalia Beylis.
