Jamie from Irish duo The Ambience Affair joins us to talk about a very succesful 2009. Plenty of radio play, two very well received EP's, and a rather nifty
sideline in beautifully crafted videos has seen their brand of musically dexterous, intense, loop driven songs break through. And did we mention CSI: NY? Not bad for a debut year.Categories

Jennifer Evans Interview
By 2FM Moderator on April 8, 2010 11:16 AM
Photo by Dave KeeganDublin songstress Jennifer Evans has just released her debut EP Salient Point and is currently embarking on her first major nationwide tour. Her sound has touches of Joanna Newsom in vocal stylings - albeit it with a "kookie" folk approach. She kindly dropped into studio for a chat and a tune.

Limerick's rap / comedy / hip hop hybrid Rubber Bandits will also be on the line-up we understand.
