'The Acoustic Yard' singer/songwriter sessions initially started up as a monthly event in Matt Molloy's Westport in February 2014. The main focus was for audiences to listen to original music in a relaxed environment and hopefully helping in some small way to invigorate and stimulate songwriting and to supply an evening of entertainment so much so that there was the inaugural The Acoustic Yard Singer/Songwriters Festival in May 2016.
The radio show is broadcast live on www.bluesandrootsradio.com every Friday 6.30pm GMT.
Here are some of the fabulous songwriters to grace The Acoustic Yard and the pick of all new music coming out of ireland and beyond.
