Céad míle fáilte! NO ENCORE goes all patriotic in the shadow of St. Patrick's Day as Dave Hanratty and guest co-host Zara Hedderman combine to reveal the very best and most jaw-droppingly dreadful songs about Ireland in this week's Top 5.

Before that, a rundown of music's biggest night – the Grammys! Did you watch it? Do you care? Should you? What about the involvement of Fontaines D.C. this year? Much to discuss and plenty more on this episode.

ACT ONE (4:54): News! Grammy Awards, Sally Grossman RIP, PlayIrish down, Billie Eilish breaks records, The Beatles are divided, the long-awaited return of Chris Gaines, and Zara's difficult reading material.

ACT TWO (39:53): Top 5 Best & Worst Songs About Ireland.
