Last week Foals front man Yannis Philipakis was available for a quick chat before Foals took to the stage at the Trinity Summer Series.

Evening Producer Kate Brennan Harding nabbed him backstage to find out how the band were getting on immediately after a secret Glastonbury set, they talk about Foals recording not one but two albums for 2019 and how the title of the albums 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost' came from Nintendo games.

'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost' Part 1 is out now and features this stunning track 'Syrups'.

Keep your ears open in the Autumn for Part 2.

Lauren Murray is the lead singer in the utterly brilliant Chvrches. She took time out to chat with Louise Duffy about touring, writing music, standing up for what you believe in and their forthcoming date with Beatyard Festival on the August Bank Holiday Weekend.

We especially wanted to let Lauren know that we on the show really appreciate the bands stance on Chris Brown and their statement about Mello working with him.

Frankly we have a bit of a crush on Tim Chadwick, his latest single 'I Need To Know' is a slice of perfect sad banger pop and we cannot get enough. Tim came in and recorded a very special session for us, with a stripped back version of 'I Need To Know' and a stunning cover of Whitney Houston's 1987 classic 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody'.

We really enjoyed this session and we think you will agree, he's got that certain something!

Tim Chadwick is a Dublin native, with a penchant for writing a mega catchy hook. He is signed to Sony Music and we expect really big things from him.

You can catch Tim Chadwick at Sea Sessions June 21st - June 23rd

'I've not met Sam Smith, but I've got his number' Sam Fender chatting about messaging Sam Smith for tips to keep his voice in top condition.

Sam was over in Ireland and dropped in to say hi to Louise Duffy, have a listen to the chat above and to his session which he recorded for us in late 2018.

Including how he would love to work with Kendrick Lamar at some stage.

Sam is so humble and we love his tunes on Lost in Music. He is playing Electric Picnic in September and is well worth seeing.

We were delighted to welcome Alice Merton In Session on Lost in Music this week.

Alice spoke to us just before her Olympia show in Dublin - we heard all about her roots (or what she would consider lack thereof) which served as the inspiration behind the song we know and love: No Roots.

Having started her career as a songwriter for major label artists, Merton wasn't a fan of how these labels operated so she decided to do what a lot of dream about - she started her own record label in Berlin.

Hear all about it during her chat with us which is followed by a stunning acoustic performance of the song we've been playing for two years now - No Roots.

Lost in Music with Louise Duffy, weeknights, 7pm.

Lost in Music with Louise Duffy Weeknights 7pm 

 

All week on Lost in Music we have been shouting from the airwaves about the Street Lights project which is raising funds for three of Ireland's homeless charities, The Peter McVerry Trust, Simon Community & Focus Ireland. 

Have a listen to the chat Claire Beck had with Faye from Little Green Cars & Sinead Troy from Yangaroo about their involvement in this amazing project. 

The album was released on Friday last and features a host of amazing and rare tracks from the likes of Bell X1, Snow Patrol, Saint Sister,  Richard Hawley with Lisa Hannigan, James Vincent McMorrow, Damien Dempsey, Luka Bloom, Villagers, Stephen James Smith, David Gray, The Frames, Lisa O'Neill, Glenn & Ronan and Celtic Woman

DONATE FROM YOUR PHONE BY TEXTING STREET LIGHTS TO 50300 TO DONATE €4 TO IRISH HOMELESS CHARITIES

Also featured on the album is single ‘Homeward Bound' which was recorded in Camden Studios with producer/arranger Cian Boylan and features a host of prolific artists including The High Hopes Choir, Gary Lightbody, Cathy Davey, Villagers, Loah, Bono, Roisin O, Join Me In The Pines, Little Green Cars, Saint Sister and Colm Mac Con Iomaire. ' 

Ireland's musicians joined forces as 'Street Lights' to release single 'Homeward Bound' and the album 'Street Lights' to generate funds for the most vulnerable, our homeless. Peter McVerry Trust, Simon Community Ireland and Focus Ireland will be the recipients of all profits of the single and album sales, which they have agreed will go directly to rehoming and rehousing on a national level. 

Johnny Borrell's Razorlight are back with a new album, tour and perspective on the era that was the 00s. 

Think about it, there was no social media, no instagram, no twitter, no instant reactions. Johnny and David chat with Ed Smith about the era just prior to the social media revolution and how it was perhaps easier to make music, certainly easier to avoid distractions. 

Johnny talks about playing guitar 10 hours a day with the band, hanging out in Camden and recording demos one week, then appearing on Top of the Pops the next. 

In the interview Ed references the Adam and Joe from XFM in the UK. If you want to have a listen to their podcasts from back in the day, here you go - The Adam and Joe Show Podcast

Click Above for the full session including America and Carry Yourself from the new album 'Olympus Sleeping' and the full interview. (We had to edit some for on air but on line you get the full shebang!)
