Irish Artists you should support instead of you know who: A Thread

@KNEECAPCEOL are an Irish rap group that do all of their songs in Irish. Entertaining & political, and truly something I have never seen before. A beautiful celebration of The Irish language https://open.spotify.com/track/6sPWEWONwBV54qKVLZ1IQm?si=fgXFBZuHRDiC33XV6dOhCA

@SouleOfficial finally a visual black female Irish artist. It’s been a joy to watch her explode in the Irish music scene and all her songs are bops. She’s one to watch https://open.spotify.com/track/0pkfyhvGnYHoSwGvRS36Gh?si=z8LXOgBJQ5eA6om06T1s9Q

Please continue to support Irish artists and Irish art but also show some extra love to black Irish artists at the moment. Their music is just as good as their white counterparts and they don’t get even half the amount support

And please continue to tag other artists!! Your support means the world to them especially since lockdown has effected summer concerts and festivals as that’s a huge source of income for them. Stream and buy their music and buy their merch where possible and share with friends
