I hate Halloween. It's horrible. I don't usually leave the house. Had to this year though for a couple of reasons. Firstly I had to present the N.Ireland Introducing show https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/rorymcconnell. We had a really intimate acoustic session with Floridian rockers Against me https://www.againstme.net and a full on electric melody assault from Clone Quartet https://www.clonequartet.com. Recent 'Road To V' winners Brightlights joined us on the phone for a chat https://www.myspace.com/thebrightlightssound, and there was a feature on N.Irish music publishers AU https://www.myspace.com/altulster. The other reason I had to leave the house was that the National were playing a venue down the road https://www.americanmary.com, but not only that they popped into BBC broadcast house to record a few session tracks for the show!! Hopefully you'll hear those next week, so check it out. BBC Introducing in N.Ireland with Rory McConnell on Radio 1. Or as we call it, 'The Early Early Breakfast show' Every Wednesday at midnight.
