Navan-based songwriter Oisin Leech will present a new series of his cult favourite 'Caravan Radio Show' from Wednesday 31st July on RTE Radio 1, running until early September.
The show traces Oisin’s lifelong passion for all things music as he brings the listener on a melodic journey across all the genres with releases new and old from home and abroad. The show includes mysterious guest phone messages from artists such as Richard Hawley, Paul Brady, Iarla Ó Lionard and new Irish artist Kevin Fowley.
This year saw the release of Oisin’s debut solo album 'Cold Sea' which has garnered widespread international critical acclaim and is being heralded by The Irish Times, Other Voices, MOJO and Uncut as one of the finest releases of 2024. His album features many luminaries including Dónal Lunny, Tony Garnier (Bob Dylan’s current and long-time touring band member), M Ward, Róisín McGrory and was produced by Brooklyn musician Steve Gunn.
Since his album's release it has seen over a million streams worldwide and has seen Leech appear on the Cerys Matthews BBC 6 Music show from Maida Vale in London. The album entered Top 20 Official Folk Album Charts in the UK and he recently performed on the renowned Other Voices TV Show.
