Discover Music NI Podcast: Season 2 Episode 6 Radio Playlist
In a little change to the podcast this week, we've decided to present in a radio -playlist-style format. We have no interviews this week, but we packed in a ton of great music by various artists... and you won't be disappointed.
We are, however, taking a little hiatus on the podcast, from our original plans, so that we can get out and see more bands, interact with more people and hope to bring you more great music in the future. We hope you enjoy this episode and we looking forward to seeing you again soon, in the very near future.
Thank you for all your support so far, and keep up great support for the local music scene!
