Life had other plans in 2023 when Fya Fox was on a powerful rise with her alt-pop sound. She chose to step back from the music industry to focus on more wonderful important things. Her beautiful love-letter single 'Sweet Goodbye', released earlier this year, marked a powerful return to the scene and got everyone tuning back in to the Fya Fox frequencies. Ahead of her debut EP 'Bittersweet' (available NOW) Fya sat backstage with Adam on the Very Irish Playlist to chat about her beginnings, time away, and the exciting present and future for her music. Follow Fya @fyafox and stream 'Bittersweet' available everywhere now! Do it for your ears and heart, they deserve it.

There's no way to write it for you to believe it, but Cathal Fitz's music is like a hug. If you don't believe me then you haven't had the pleasure of hearing his music just yet. Go and fix that. I'm sure anyone who has is nodding in full agreement while reading this and listening to the man himself speak about his journey and his life that led to this path he's on now. His new EP Concise Waffle is an early form masterpiece. It's like the bread your nana's baking. Nostalgic, magical, the perfect answer to any day, and you always go back for more.
