    Episode 15 - Ispíní na hÉireann

    Episode 15, the final episode of this installment of Off The Charts, is dedicated to the one and only Ispíní na hÉireann. This unbelievably talented and "not-so-traditional" trad band most certainly comes with the Bord Bia quality mark and are 100% Guaranteed Irish! They are not your run-of-the-mill Irish music group, they are hilariously funny yet their musical ability is in no way compromised - an Irish Tenacious D, you might say! Maria and Bríain óg had the best time getting to know Tomás and Padraig óg ('Póg') and got the chance to ask them where it all began, where they got the idea for their unique band name, and how they went about putting together their debut album 'The Hard Working Men'.

Maria and Bríain óg had the pleasure of getting to know Michelle on a more personal level and hearing all about her experience of being in a girl band at the young age of 19, the inspiration and message behind her self-titled debut EP, and her views on female empowerment as she navigates the music industry.

Galway with its four members: Daniel O'Malley ("Dom"), Emmet Feerick, and brothers Shane and Daniel Fahy! Maria and Bríain óg sat down with Shane and Dom, and somehow amidst the mighty craic, spoke with them about how the band came to be, their all-inclusive song-writing process, and how they hit the festival scene for the first time ever this year, not only as performers but as attendees too!
