Hello Starling (Snow Is Gone)

Josh Ritter

Setanta

WE SAY

This delightful, sprawling track has converted us to Josh whole-heartedly and we get the impression we're part of a growing crowd. He's been big in Ireland for a while with support from Hot Press and two of our favourite Irish acts, The Frames and Damien Rice. His UK fanbase is growing impressively too and he's playing nine UK dates in June, finishing at London's Scala on Wednedsay June 16. This recently went straight onto the Radio 2 A list.
