Welcome...... a little background on RADIO IASCA.

The first seven songwriters and composers of IASCA, our Board of Directors, represent a diverse range of the incredible music talent we have in Ireland right now.
Recently, we all sat around and talked about how we could highlight Irish Artists, in support of our PLAY IRISH project.
We discovered we all like music from different genres and how interesting it might be individually to curate a programme showcasing the Irish artists we listen to.
The idea of a creating a podcast was born -  RADIO IASCA.

The very gifted Joe Chester, songwriter and producer, curated our first podcast choosing five Irish artists he admires to interview. He intertwined each interview with music from that artist and the result is mind-blowing. We hope when you listen you will discover an Irish artist unknown to you.

Please grab a cuppa, and listen below....
