It was a pleasure to welcome Nialler9 -- aka Niall Byrne -- to the programme recently.
The Irish blogger, promoter, band manager and music supervisor is one of the most influential people in Irish music -- there are many Irish bands who have got their start through being featured on his website.
Nialler is also a well-known DJ -- he's cofounder of Lumo, the club night which takes place regularly in Dublin -- and he'll be playing most of the Irish festivals this summer. Ahead of the festival season, we asked him to pick out some of his favourite tracks for us, but also to select some artists who will feature as part of the festivals line-up.
We didn't get a chance to play all of his songs on the show -- and more's the pity -- but here's the full playlist that he dreamed up for below, and you can check out the podcast by clicking the play button on the top right of the screen. Let us know what you think of his choices by tweeting @nadineoregan or @songsinthekey.
