Many thanks to Les Ray for playing the track Leitrim Fields by the fabulous Michelle Gahan Music on his show Strummers and Dreamers 603 on Cambridge Radio on Monday 23rd June. It is available to listen again on Thursday 27th June on Mixcloud. https://www.mixcloud.com/StrummersandDreamers/

It's a beautiful ballad and was co-written with her sister Maria Connolly and inspired by their mother's experience growing up in 1940's and 1950's rural Ireland. Glad to see Michelle getting well-deserved airplay.

This month, we are celebrating the 3-year anniversary of Two Swan Designs (Irish Music Media). We can’t believe how quickly that time has flown. The service came about in response to independent artists asking us how they can get more airplay for their music to get noticed.

We play as much new independent music as we can on the David Dee Moore Radio Show but also give a lot of advice to artists about recording, getting their music properly mixed and mastered, creating accessible media files and some general tips about promotion and social media.

We have helped many artists with their PR campaigns and design needs over the last 3 years and have had the pleasure of meeting many of them in person and attending their gigs.

Keep writing those great songs and we will keep promoting them. Good music is half the battle. The other half is visibility. Let us help you with the other half.
