For big, big topics, obviously the title song is about the Celtic Tiger, talking about Bertie Hearn growing up in the crash.

And it's the first song I've heard in that vein that really speaks to the kind of desperation that people had around that time.

And it's also just an amazing song as well.

It's something that she does for all of her work.

This is it.

I mean, this is her skill.

Because, you know, even on our live show, she does the Dunboyne County Mead two-step.

And that specificity is something that she is so good at.

And it's a really difficult skill.

And people would tell you, you know, or maybe don't write about everything you know if it's very specific.

But she's not afraid to go colloquial in her music and bring that to a wider world.

And that is, I think, one of the things that she's really, really good at and something that should be commended because

She doesn't shy away from writing about local and referencing local things or Irish things.

But people have gone with it.

And that's because she's such a great songwriter.

They have really, like, they're on board with her.

She brings people with her.

Orla Gardin won last year.

Yeah, she did mention in her speech that Villagers, Conor O'Brien won previously as an inspiration.

And I think you're really just seeing how Irish music in the last 10, 15 years is just really punching quite high in its weight.
