Lovesick on Flirt FM (Best of 2020 Shows)

First off with a whopper year for Irish music releases, and *continued* class work from Irish female musicians ;)

Then, as Alan wasn't in for Grounded, I did a rare 2hr show. Waveforms at 11pm were helpfully doing their Irish best of 2020, so the station's Irish music ratio didn't dip!

My Last Ever Wedding Cake

Until the next one. Only for Michelle and Kelvin would I break my promise. My sister Clare made the cakes (lemon drizzle, chocolate biscuit and Victoria Sponge, if I remember correctly). I was a huge ball of stress making this, as I wanted it to look brilliant for them, and the fondant was prone to sweating, even with the windows open in a cold kitchen. Anyway, onwards and Up!wards.

Lovesick on Flirt FM (Best of 2017: Irish)

There was nearly 130 songs on the Lovesick longlist for Irish tracks of the year. You can check out 70 of them at the Spotify Playlist below. And here's 14 of the biggest earworms out of them, along with an interview and song from Aaron from Phantom Dog Beneath the Moon.

My First Attempt at Macarons

Teal-tinted, but plain macaron flavour, with ganache. These turned out perfectly. The next time I made them was a disaster. Beginner's luck!

Lovesick on Flirt FM (Castlepaulooza All-Irish)

I've gone all out for this episode, because Flirt FM 101.3 is on hols until the 30th of August from this Saturday... It's got Castlepalooza acts, Dublin Podcast Festival & Metropolis Festival 2017 news, an MS Paint masterpiece, and it's all Irish music too. I even take 30 seconds to freak out about LCD Soundsystem tickets :')
