With a record number of people trying to reach the summit of Mount Everest 50 years after it was first scaled, two Irish climbers, Cork man Mick Murphy and Ger McDonnell from Limerick reached the summit on May 23, six days before the anniversary of Sir Edmund Hilary’s first ascent.
The two Irish climbers overcame hurricanes and blizzards to reach the summit. They became separated during their climb due to the adverse conditions, but were both with Sherpas and within radio contact with each other and base camp. Murphy was the first to reach the summit with McDonnell arriving an hour and a half later. The colorful Limerick man, sporting a hurley stick in his backpack, promptly puked a sliothar off the top of Everest. ♦

His new single ‘Alive’ is an uplifting song that is bound to pick you up from your heels if your down or create the perfect soundtrack for those who are already experts at living it up.
Hot on the trails of the single ‘The Sound of Heartbreak’, along with the accompanying video by
Keelan Murphy, this new offering solidifies the impression that Murphy’s music will satisfy the appetite of music listeners who appreciate music masters such as David Gray, Crowded House and Suzanne Vega, for instance. This is fine and pleasurable listening for a mature and positivity-oriented audience.

My my, this certainly has been a busy season for Irish music-makers (or maybe we’re just hearing more about them these days) – Cathal Coughlan, Keeley, Lori Sky (formerly Lorraine McCauley), Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell – so much goodness flowing from the Emerald Isle. Once again, we turn our attention to Dublin (via the south-eastern town of Wicklow).
The subject of our sonic quest: indie pop artist
Cat Dowling who is gearing up to release her new single “Freedom” on Friday. Cat Dowling’s vocals, melodicism, and pop sensibility are brilliant. Fleetwood Mac, Metric, Daughter, Kristin Hersh, Feist, and Marina all come to mind when listening to this sublime offering.
