We started off with a couple of sets of Irish punk from guest host Daragh Hayes. Daragh was born in Galway and had recently revisited in the last couple of months. While there Daragh picked up new material. He had also picked up a comp of early Irish punk from Soap 'n Spikes titled "Shellshock Rockers". So he started off with the early scene and then brought it into a contemporary scene.

Rob pulled together a set of bands with women in them as well as a set of surf inspired punk.

And D'arcy brought us a set of conteomprary bands and a great cover of "Lucy in the Skies with Diamonds" which heard one of the best unintentional re-buttles to Rob's ribbing about sandals.

In keeping with the Irish scene report theme Rat's Blood from Dublin were featured on this show. Have a listen.
