I've always felt the Irish appreciate good songwriting in a way the Brits seem to have forgotten about. But I don't see much mention of Soul music on this site. Here in the UK right now there are some excellent Soul artists like Kevin East, Omar, Terri Walker, Beverlei Brown etc. but they only get airplay on specialist radio and coverage in the Soul press whereas all the predictable urban/R'n'B acts from the States are never off the radio. Is it the same in Ireland or do you give those sorts of artists the respect they deserve?
