Irish Music Month 2024

It’s Irish music month on East Coast FM and with other independent radio stations across the country we’re showing our love and gratitude to the amazing Irish music makers and creators out there, by going over and above in every way we possibly can.

 That means:

• More Irish music song plays
• More Irish music artist mentions
• More Irish music features
• More Irish artist gig pushes

And you can play your part too!

From buying songs, albums, gig tickets and artist merch to posting and sharing the Irish music artists you love, join us in giving back, saying thanks and supporting even more amazing Irish music to come!
