Sound System Podcast #51

We’re hitting a milestone podcast tonight as the Sound System Podcast finally reaches show #50. I’d love to say we’ve got tons of special guests in the studio, loads of CDs to give away, free tickets to some of the summers hottest gigs and loads more besides but you’ll likely get all the usual stuff - local and national gig news, crazy ramblings, some great independent Irish music and plenty of chat about… well, something!

The podcast should (hopefully) be online at some stage tonight or early tomorrow morning. You can listen to past shows by seeking out the podcast in the iTunes store or by visiting SoundSystemPodcast.com.

The 49th Sound System Podcast should hit the web, iTunes, SoundSystemPodcast.com and the MP3 player here on the KilkennyMusic.com homepage in the next hour or so.
