This week, a St. Patrick's Day special! Guests joined me throughout the show to help curate a themed show full of Irish music, festivities and fun. For the first half, Alessia and Katie brought along some traditional Irish music and drinking songs to play along to this show, and for the second half, Emily, host of Em's Gems phones in from Exeter bringing us the scoop on celebrations in the UK, as well as an (unrelated but wonderful) anecdote about the band Muse. Find the playlist and follow along, and try to support artists independently if you can!

This week on Yellow Brit Road, I caught up with Peace Okezie, aka Master Peace, a London-based indie musician who has captured all our attention with his masterful, dancey debut album How To Make A Master Peace. We talked all about the album, being the new face of indie sleaze in 2024, identity and plans for the future ('World domination!') This was a fun chat, find yourself a copy of the album and listen to the whole interview!
