Having already earned rave reviews and a spot in the Hot Press Readers’ Poll as one of the best Irish debuts of last year, The Lucky Caller No.9 by Ian Whitty & The Exchange is still going strong after seven months on the shelves. The album is a testament to the power of Whitty’s urgent, evocative storytelling. This is an indie folk act to keep an eye on, with stand-out tracks including singles ‘Not On Your Side’ and ‘Houndstooth Shirt’.
