My Year in Music – May 2020

Another month, another extended stay in isolation but the good news is that restrictions are gradually being relaxed in Ireland, so we’ll soon be back to our usual social selves hopefully. I’m aware that this is later than usual this time around but more important things needed to be drawn into focus. I’m not going to preach to you all but please feel free to click the link below to find ways to help draw attention to and change what can only be described as the systemic racism that is rampant in society as a whole: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ This is not just America’s problem.

With that said, it’s time for a new set of additions and the playlist can be found on YouTube and Spotify. Until next month, stay safe, social distancing is cool. Be safe, be healthy, be well.
