TPOE 253: Choice Prize review, Sister Fenix, Dashoda

We start off by looking back at last week's Choice Music Prize ceremony and hearing the winning speeches from Irish artist of the year Fontaines DC (Conor Curley), classic album recipient Sinead O'Connor, introduced by Dave Fanning, and Irish album of the year winner CMAT for If My Wife New I'd Be Dead, with a speech given by drag queen Lavender. 12.25: Sister Fenix are a new act comprising Senita (Shookrah) and Jess Kav (Barq) who have just put out their debut single 'Benefactor of Love'. They talk about deciding to form while on a walk up Killiney Hill in 2020 with the aim of writing a disco banger, their work with X Collective and what we can expect from Sister Fenix. 34.45: Dashoda releases his debut EP Never Enough today, Wednesday, March 15, launching it with a show at the Workman's Cellar tonight. We talk about how the project has changed from its early days, explore the ideas behind it and go through its four tracks, including closer 'Sultan', a collaboration with Jackie Beverly Dashoda on Bandcamp: https://dashodamusic.bandcamp.com/ Tickets to Dashoda's show at Workman's Cellar https://theworkmansclub.com/events/dashoda-never-enough-ep-launch/
