AS YOU PROBABLY know, tomorrow is International Women’s Day.
What better way to celebrate than by bopping to tunes made by some of Ireland’s most talented women? We decided to make a playlist with exactly 69 songs that runs at exactly 4 hours and 20 minutes long (this was not, by any means, an easy thing to do) to celebrate some of our favourite Irish women in music.
From huge names you definitely already know, like Sinéad O’Connor, Nadine Coyle and The Cranberries, to some up-and-coming acts that have been taking the music scene by storm in recent years, we’ve put together a showcase of all of our faves.
