Meg O’Connell from West Cork Music shares her listening favourites.

What song have you been listening to on repeat lately?

The Flood by Ye Vagabonds and honestly their whole new album All Tied Together

What genre of music is your favourite?

I think my top genre would be indie folk, but I genuinely listen to everything from afrobeats to metal to Irish trad and everything in between depending on my mood.

Who’s your top artist or band of all time?

Such a difficult question! Maybe Damon Albarn? Because of Blur, Gorillaz and all of the incredible collaborations he’s had over the years.

What are your top three songs of all time?

Wait for the Moment by Vulfpeck, The Old Favourite by the Gloaming, This is Us Colliding by Talos

If you could see any person/band perform, dead or alive, who would it be?

I would go back in time to Vulfpeck’s Madison Square Garden gig! Or Billie Holiday, but would also need to go back in time, I don’t want there to be any mobile phones/cameras in the audience.

Do you listen on vinyl, CDs, or streaming?

CDs in my car, Tidal streaming on my phone/speakers (ditched Spotify years ago). And I just bought my first two records for the vinyl player I plan to buy soon - Crying Loser and Leevy’s new albums coming soon.

What song would you like played at your funeral?

God & Satan by Biffy Clyro for the millennial throwback, lyrics and not to be taken too seriously!
