In a world of shuttered music venues and snatched-away opportunities, Ireland’s music community continues to defy the odds – with young, emerging artists defiantly rising above seemingly insurmountable challenges, and flying the flag for their country. This bold energy, independent ethos and genre-defying talent is evident across our list of Hot For 2021 Irish Acts – which features artists from every corner of Ireland.
PureGrand:
Exploring sexuality and masculinity, PureGrand tunes like the ballad ‘Flowers’ and the beat-heavy ‘Such A Fright’ showcase a rich, expressive voice that appears destined for the charts. A photographer, artist and musician, Luke Faulkner has also collaborated visually with Babylamb, ELKAE and Jack Rua.
Hear: 2020 single ‘Timeline’.
Watch: The 80s-inspired video for ‘Such A Fright’.
