All these tunes are by small local artists from either North or South of the border. I recommend you check them out, just give a little listen. You won't regret it... promise.
1) New Ancestors
A duo from Belfast, I found these guys back in summer 2011 when they were named 'The 1930's' when I interviewed them while studying a podcasting course. Then became so in love with them and became obsessed with their music. I love their folk style of music, catchy tunes and good guitar playing.
I then won their Facebook competition to go see them at a gig in Limelight Belfast which was a very good show. Minus the fact that a guitar stopped working due to technical problems. Lately they've changed their name to "New Ancestors', probably because any search results for the 1930's brought up the decade rather than the band, so hopefully this is start will end well.
Keep it up lads.

2) Hudson Taylor
A Duo from Dublin, consisting of brother Harry and Alfie Hudson-Taylor. I first found these guys yonks ago on youtube under the name of 'HarryandAlfie'. That channel has since been deleted along with some crazy good catchy tunes, which seems a real shame. They then developed a new channel under the name HudsonTaylor, and is the name they go by for gigs. These guys are great. I love them.
3) All the Luck in the World
Apparently this is in a Trivago advert, I don't know what Trivago is, but I know this song is great. I found these guys at church, where the guitarist was the guitarist in this song. Again, a beautiful acoustic tune. (Anyone finding a theme with these songs?)
4) Rend Collective Experiment
A Christian worship band from Northern Ireland. Now if your not into Christian music, give this one a chance. A Mumford and Son style song this is ridiculously catchy.
This bio from their website sums it up pretty well.
"Rend Collective Experiment is an eclectic collective of multi-instrumentalists from the North of Ireland. An inherent desire for something spiritually substantive in our increasingly artificial world is exactly what brought the movement of friends together. United by a common purpose, these twenty-somethings began exploring the intersection between God, life and community."
