IMRO: "InunDations, a new double album showcase of live performances recorded in Studio 2 @ Galway Bay FM is released on Friday May 31st, with all proceeds going to The Samaritans. Recorded over the past twelve months as part of Jon Richards’ in studio sessions, InunDations features tracks from some of the biggest names in music from both at home and abroad.

The impressive line up reads like a whose who of Irish music today and includes Mundy, Damien Rice, The Frames, Hothouse Flowers, The Devlins, Skindive, Juliet Turner, Relish, The 4 of Us, Jack L, The Saw Doctors, Mary Black, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Eleanor McEvoy, Don Baker and many more. Also featured are winning acts from this years Hot Press Awards, including Best Female Singer Gemma Hayes, Roots music award winner Cara Dillon and Philip Lynott Newcomer Award winners, The Revs.

Internationally renowned artists from abroad also feature alongside talented and exciting newcomers. Canadian Ron Sexsmith contributes a fine moment, as does Lloyd Cole who does a remarkable reworking of “Brand New Friend”. There are also remarkable performances from guitarist Pierre Bensusan and Idaho born Josh Ritter. Up and coming stars like powerful blues artist Chaz De Paulo, the hypnotic, compelling voice of Charis’ John Connolly and the vastly underrated Brando fly the flag for new artists.

All of the featured tracks were recorded by Richards and are just a snapshot of the treasure trove of original music that Galway Bay FM has had the pleasure of broadcasting over the past year. Of the recording Richards says, “I believe the sessions have only scratched the surface and judging by the outstanding performances from Glen Hansard on “Revelate”, Damien Rice’s “Woman like a man”, Mundy’s “Mayday” and The Saw Doctors “Clare Island” to name but a few, the journey continues...”

InunDations is released on Friday May 31st and contains 37 stunning tracks for the special price of just €20, with all proceeds going to The Samaritans. It is also being released in DVD style casing and is sure to rapidly become a collector’s item.

The album could not have happened without the help of our kind sponsors, Zhivago, Cuba, The Warwick, Hot Press, IMRO and Galway Bay FM, who all rallied behind this very worthy charity."
