A follow-up to our Top 50 Irish songs feature from the weekend. Here’s an alternative list I compiled — all were chosen by our 50 judges, none made the original 50 list. Rules: one song per year, one song per artist, no artist who appeared in original list

Was delighted to be asked to join three fellow writers, who I greatly admire, in following in the footsteps of Ulysses's protagonists - and the original, boozier Bloomsday crew. A very fun day out. In the Irish Independent today https://t.co/mCkkHypRfk

Thanks to @ReviewIndo for asking me to contribute to this, even though it'll surely lead to a dip in my stock value as an arts journalist. I am as god made me.
