The Light Side of the Tune, a new album from Meath musician Brenda Castles, has been chosen by Áine Hensey for this week’s Album of the Week.  Brenda has won numerous prizes for her music, and released her first solo album in 2016, ‘Indeedin You Needn’t Bother’.  The new album is a collection of unusual versions of some of the well-known tunes in the tradition, and Brenda says she has greatly enjoyed revisiting and rediscovering some of these tunes.  Listeners will hear a selection of tracks from the album on Binneas Béil this week, every afternoon Monday to Wednesday, and they’ll also have a chance to win a copy.
