      I feel this might be another “scene that celebrates itself” thing. It’s such a subjective topic there’s no real way to quantify it but I do feel that in general we big up our “arts scene” when it’s 95% friends performing for or publishing friends and very small and insular works/shows etc. I keep hearing about how great Galway and Dublin is for artists but we haven’t had a truly generational talent since Heaney died and before him Beckett. Writing books and plays about sexual abuse/ the church/ the countryside being bad etc is so passé now yet it seems to be all that’s churned out by writers when being “serious” or you have Sally Rooney writing another self insert book with all the charm of gone off milk.

      Would’ve liked a shout out for Rejjie Snow, he’s easily my favourite contemporary Irish musician.

      Most of them are massively overhyped to be honest.

      The one Irish group I like the most are Lankum though.

      Ireland’s techno scene is doing pretty well. It’s modern Irish music.

      Irish music scene is phenomenal at the moment. 

      So much good stuff coming out at the moment and so many sold out gigs across the country. 

      Was at Sprints last night in Vicar Street and the atmosphere was incredible. Something special about a sold out gig by an Irish band.

      Utterly bizzarre that a music journo could write a piece about the alternative music scene in Ireland and talk about U2 and the Cranberries without once mentioning My Bloody Valentine who basically set the template for the term

      When can we have an all Irish festival, feel like we have the acts to fill the bill.
