NO ENCORE returns to your ears once more, this time joined by a very special guest co-host – the returning Ailbhe Reddy!

The prolific singer-songwriter has just released sophomore album Endless Affair and is on the promotional trail – don't miss Ailbhe's upcoming double-header at Whelan's in Dublin on May 5th and 6th, or elsewhere if you can catch her.

Ailbhe joined Dave Hanratty in-studio for a chat about her recent American jaunt, her new album, and performing on the Irish institution that is The Late Late Show. She also selected this week's Top 5 – all about movie needle drops.
