GoldenPlec

On this week's episode we have a fascinating interview with the legend that is Mike Garson, David Bowie's longest serving musical collaborator, ahead of the Dublin Bowie Festival.

We also look back at the All we Have are Days festival which took place in Limerick over the St. Brigid's weekend, and we have our usual mix of news, reviews, and more Plec Picks for you to discover.

The GoldenPlec music blog goes to places it's never been before. Join John Loftus and Stephen Byrne for the first taste of their weekly musical musings. This week they debate the merits or otherwise of the Choice Music Prize shortlists, lend their ears to new releases including Ailbhe Reddy's new album Kiss Big, and shine the light on a selection of our Plec Picks for 2026.
