The Thin Air’s Top 100 Irish Tracks of 2020 (#100-51)
Ah, 2020 eh? Unless you were living off the grid in a self-made banana bread house whilst rocking yourself gently to various iterations of ‘Happy Birthday’ as you washed your hands, then you will know that despite collectively living through the pandemic there were plenty of Irish songs to get excited about. 100 to be precise. We’ve listened to them on repeat since we couldn’t attend gigs, raves, or house parties so we’re certain we’ve selected the finest this little locked down island has to offer. It’s safe to say this year epitomised the true meaning of community in this country and some of these songs are the remnants of the last great sense of togetherness ahead of an unknown landscape for the music industry in 2021.
#50-1 comes tomorrow.
