Remarkably we find ourselves at the start of a new year but before we rush headlong into 2025, we wanted to reflect on the year just passed.
Despite the numerous social and economic challenges which made working in the creative industries such a challenge, it seems no-one told our musicians. Across the twelve months of 2024, we were inundated with quality release after release which made curating our monthly Fresh NI playlist a real joy.
The flip side of coin is that with so much brilliant music, condensing nearly 500 releases (we were aware of) down to only 50 was torturous. We’d strongly recommend you revisit our complete playlist of Northern Irish Songs of the Year but if you only have time for the condensed version, here are tracks 50 through 26.
