David and Robbie did an on-air session with Donal as part of the first Fresh Air in November last year, where they played Spilly tracks live and brought in some great tracks for Donal to play. You can get a list of the tracks they picked, and a link to listen back to the session, here>

The Cork gig is in a deadly venue for Triskel called the SubStation, being as how it’s an old ESB SubStation.  Kevin Blake is playing too, and Donal will be doing live visuals and DJing at the show. Tickets are €15/12 and available in advance (from Triskel), or on the door. Doors are 8pm, show at 8.30pm.

This will be the last chance to catch Spilly Walker live until the Autumn; Robbie’s away all summer….

It’s Yours (from The Nightsaver) is one of the tracks selected for a new double album of contemporary irish music that was released yesterday. It’s in some great company with tracks from Patrick Kelleher, The Jimmy Cake, Dark Room Notes, Valerie Francis and R.S.A.G among others.  Check out the full tracklisting below, and it should be in all good record stores now if you want to pick up a copy.
