Originally released in December, the EP tells a full story as a time capsule, and racked up over 100,000 streams independently. The deluxe…

This is their 3rd time coming onto Léim Thart, having previously chatted…
Loved talking to singer-songwriter Benjamin Steer for Léim Thart about his 2025, and his brand-new single 'Miracle'.

We talked about Stromae, a clash of accents when you're international, and even an obligatory mention of the new ROSALÍA album! The new single is released is…
Today's Léim Thart episode is with Monaghan composer Jamie Duffy, recorded live with an audience at the Róisín Dubh Galway to celebrate the release of his debut album, which is freshly landed at #1 on the Independent Albums Chart in Ireland, and #7 All Albums.

Scotland's newest folk hero Jacob Alon sat in on Léim Thart to share their stunning debut album 'In Limerence', released on the 30th May.

Having recently finished a tour with Olly…
