2020 In Review
A look back at some of the top music picks of 2020 as chosen by some of the host venues of Songs From an Empty Room
This year has been a haze of wonderful activity and support from so many people. One definite highlight for MCM however was our involvement in RTÉ’s Songs From An Empty Room in July – bringing acts together to perform in some of Ireland’s most loved venues. To celebrate, we’ve asked these same venues involved to compile their homegrown musical highlights of 2020 to share with you…
