Sorcha Richardson: "One of the best things I ever did was move to New York – and the next best thing I did was move back to Ireland" | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Sorcha Richardson returns with her third album, Draw The Outline, the Dublin-raised, Kerry-based singer-songwriter talks isolation, Irish music, creative writing, America, and shaking things up. Not long after topping the Irish Independent Albums Chart with her second album, Smiling Like An Idiot, Sorcha Richardson – while driving her partner’s sister, Ellen, to the train station – was faced with the question that very few artists in those early, nebulous stages of a new project want to hear:
Live Report: Freedom takes centre stage at Sziget 2026 | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
360,000 visitors from more than 110 countries gathered on the Island of Freedom this month – for some of the most thrilling names in international music, alongside madcap theatrics, boundary-defying performances, and surprises around every corner. The sun has yet to start setting over Day 2 of Sziget, when a bandana-wearing Belgian man proudly shows me the words tattooed in cursive across his foreman: Sziget, Island of Freedom.

Loah: "Irish people are so much more than their stereotypes" | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following the release of her long-awaited debut album, Materia Medica, Loah discusses medieval time travellers, the “big, bold energy” of the Irish scene, collaborating with the late Eoin French of Talos, and writing about the legacy of mother and baby homes. On the surface, music and pharmacy don’t, Loah admits, have much in common. But like the patchwork of distinct sounds, ideas and eras that make up her debut album, she is aware that we all contain multitudes – and her experiences as a quali
John Creedon: "As a people, we've come through the teenage years in this country" | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Creedon’s Musical Atlas Of Ireland returns, the legendary Cork broadcaster talks keening, lilting and gratitude. He may be almost 40 years at RTÉ, but John Creedon is taking nothing for granted. He knows well that not everyone has the privilege of spending their day in Studio One with the first woman to conduct the Oscars, Eímear Noone – as well as Celine Byrne, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, six additional percussionists and a camera crew – and being able to call it work. “I did all the crappy j
Jimmy MacCarthy: "I'm not in the business of defaming anybody at this stage. But over 40 years… That's a long time to stay quiet, isn't it?" | Hotpress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a decade out of the spotlight, Jimmy MacCarthy is back – with a run of sold-out shows in October, and plans to re-release two of his classic ‘90s albums. During a visit to Hot Press, the revered songwriter reflects on an extraordinary journey through life and music, and reveals the stories behind some of Ireland’s most beloved songs, including ‘Ride On’ and ‘No Frontiers’. “Am I 30 minutes early, or 30 years late?” Jimmy MacCarthy poses that philosophical question, with an energy both impi
