You gotta keep 'em separated. Or, in this case, bonded for life.NO ENCORE is back for another week and the boys Dave Hanratty and Craig Fitzpatrick have a lot to chew on despite sensationally not attending Irish music's biggest night. The RTÉ Choice Music Prize is still on the agenda, though. As is lots of other news and yet another Top 5 that throws at least one half of the team into existential disarray. And what is NO ENCORE if not existential dread persevering? If you adore what we bring you every week and would like to support this particular independent venture, you can do so at https://www.patreon.com/noencore – new episode of NO AUX CORD coming soon.
