PipMarconi is principly a musical project derived from a collaboration between Philip McGibney and Mark Brennan. Based on the east coast of Ireland in a small village called Raheny in North County Dublin this collaboration brings together two diverse tastes in music that meet across boarders in between rock, blues, indie, folk and pop. Past and present. 
      Formed as a creative outlet to write original music and songs across all genres. PipMarconi is a bit of fun taken very seriously.  It brings together qualities of music from McGibney with lyrics and vocals from Brennan although the two cross over from time to time. Aided and abated by Gary Eustace on Bass and production in the initial stages with Noel Dempsey on drums. Later recordings involve collaboration Philip Mooney Jnr for music and production with Bob Fagan on drums. Special mention to Marc Butterly on keys and piano.

Stardust is a six-part series from The Journal that delves into one of the worst tragedies in the history of the Irish State. At a Valentine's disco in 1981, 48 young people died and more than 200 people were injured after a fire in Dublin's Stardust nightclub. With the families left still fighting for justice almost four decades on, we ask how did Ireland get it so wrong the first time around?

Stardust is presented by Sean Murray, produced by Nicky Ryan with executive producer Christine Bohan.

Cate Le Bon is an artist hailing from Carmarthenshire, rural West Wales. Be it on her more minimalist, acoustic-leaning 2009 debut album Me Oh My or critically acclaimed, liquid-riffed 2013 LP Mug Museum as well as 2016s Crab Day and the Mercury Award nominated Reward, Cate Le Bon’s solo work — and indeed also her production work, such as that carried out on the recent John Grant album, Boy From Michigan, or  Deerhunter's Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?  (4AD, January 2019) — has always resisted pigeonholing, walking the tightrope between krautrock aloofness and heartbreaking tenderness; deadpan served with a twinkle in the eye, a flick of the fringe and a lick of the Telecaster.

New album Pompeii bears a storied title summoning apocalypse, but the metaphor eclipses any “dissection of immediacy,” says Le Bon. Sonically minimal in parts, its lyrics jog between self-reflection and direct address. Written primarily on bass and composed entirely alone in an “uninterrupted vacuum,” Le Bon plays every instrument (except drums and saxophones) and recorded the album largely by herself with long-term collaborator and co-producer Samur Khouja in Cardiff, Wales.

The songs of Pompeii feel suspended in time, both of the moment and instant but reactionary and Dada-esque in their insistence to be playful, satirical, and surreal. From the spirited, strutting bass fretwork of “Moderation”, to the sax-swagger of “Running Away”; a tale exquisite in nature but ultimately doomed (The fountain that empties the world / Too beautiful to hold), escapism lives as a foil to the outside world. Pompeii’s audacious tribute to memory, compassion, and mortal salience is here to stay.
