Best of the Marine sessions

The Best of the Marine sessions interview 16th Jan 2011

From time to time we come across a musical treat which I feel we must bring to the attention of our readers In the East Music scene we have many acts, bands, singer, groups, songwriters all who are very
talented in so many ways. On this occasion I want to talk about a
brand new CD which is aptly called the Best of the Marine Sessions in
reference to the Marine Bar in the Strand Youghal which has played
host to so many musical nights over the year. It’s great to see a
local venue constantly supporting local music. Under the guidance of
Claycastle Studios a new 12 track CD has been released featuring
artists from the local area and who have played in The Marine Bar at
some stage over the last year.
