NO ENCORE: THE REVISIT | 1996
Welcome to the inaugural episode of NO ENCORE: THE REVISIT, in which we go back in time to a chosen year in Irish music and attempt to determine the gold standard of the era.
Join regular NO ENCORE hosts Dave Hanratty and Colm O’Regan on a journey back to 1996 alongside Delorentos man Kieran McGuinness, Niamh Farrell of HamsandwicH and State Magazine Reviews Editor Zara Hedderman.
