This cover of The Weeknd is absolutely stunning. LYRA is an Irish gem. The singer from Cork is a talent and tonic and we love having her on The Fergal D'Arcy Show.

Tom Grennan spent many childhood summers in Ireland. He always talks fondly of his time with his Irish family in Offaly. His latest song, 'Don't Break My Heart' is dedicated to his Irish cousin Alan who passed away in a car accident when he was only eighteen. As Tom says they were more than cousins, they were really like best mates. To lose him was a tragedy. I am always thinking of him. We were the two tight ones. The same age. I want him to live forever. I put him on the single cover. I...

Written and recorded during lockdown this is James Arthur's most personal album.

James Arthur spoke to The Fergal D'Arcy Show about songs like 'Medicine' and...

If James Blunt didn't have a 17-year career that has spawned over 23 million album sales he could have made it as a stand-up. He has proven that he can take the p*ss out of himself before anyone else can even start. It has made him the unoficial King Of Twitter with his dry and witty comebacks to trolls. I did already. https://t.co/TePcTaLGUx — James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) February 25, 2021 During lockdown, while many other artists are doing mini-concerts from their homes, I thought I’d do you...

Joel Corry is one of our favourite people. Officially a friend of The Fergal D''Arcy Show he is always so open and loves a chat. Bless my Mum she is still doing my washing!

It's the 20th anniversary of when Coldplay supported U2 at Slane. Is it time they played there as Headiners? Guy Berryman and Will Champion would love to see it happen.

We think Lyra is The Big Deal in Irish music! So, it's appropriate that she is appearing as a Judge on the show 'The Big Deal' on Virgin Media Television. It’s the channel’s BIG Saturday night show. It involves contestants accepting a cash deal or taking a chance to go further in the competition. “Are you going to take the deal or are you going to take a chance?!” Her fellow judges are Jedward, Boy George, Deirdre O’Kane and Aston Merrygold. Lyra was in fab form as she chatted to Fergal...
