 A new song getting loads of airplay and absolutely brilliant. Lauren Doherty of course and the Isle of Vanish free, beautiful. All right, 20 minutes in front of 10 o'clock. Don't forget, Marty Freel's sitting in for Big Aidan tonight, between 10 and 12. No better man with some great music as always, Marty, so we're looking forward to Marty. It's been a while since Marty's been up here in the mornin' out. Hope he doesn't lost the run himself. Paddy Malloy's a top man on and off the stage. I know him from working on the pulse. He met me one day in Remelton. Under the back of the van and gave the wiggle up. A pack of rocky roads. This is the simplest things. Good man, Paddy. That's what it's all about. That's what it'll be. Great show, Paddy, from Mom and Dad. There you are, wishing Paddy all the best. And Gary Mangan, good man, Gary. Good to hear from you. Paddy Sound and Grit and yourself, Paul. Paddy, no better man. Good to hear you on the airways. Hope to see you on Saturday night with the help of God from the one and only. Paddy McMannaman, good Paddy. Hope you're keeping well as well, my friend. Right, we move on to our final guest tonight. And we welcome Hannah Loog. Hannah, how are you? I'm all good. I've been nervous. Nervous? Ah, we've been. Well, coming on here? That's all chakers. We were nervous knowing you were coming in. We saw just big stars coming in. Ah, man. Come here, will you, from Fannard? From Fannard, aye. Right, I'll drive up and out. That's not too bad. No, I've come from Derry. Oh, you came from Derry? Yes, I'm living there now. Ah, very good. And tell us a bit about yourself. You're a singer-songwriter? I'm a singer-songwriter. I started... I started running Covid, so I ran my own songs. And then I didn't like any of them at all. None of them. How do you mean to bother honesty in this? Oh, no, no, I didn't. They were terrible. And then I moved to Derry to study music. Ah, and the tech, is it? Yeah, the tech. And I loved it. I loved it so much. I've got, like, amazing lectures and everything. Do you ever believe that many people come up here, young people, and they tell us about this course down there that's been doing it? And I always just wonder to myself, God, I don't know about it, but I don't know how it really goes. Maybe I'm still good in the root songs, but I would've been lovely to do something like that. And how long's the course, three years? Mine's just two years. Two years, okay. And H&C and H&D. And I'm a few months from finishing now. I have some. What's the plans? I want to work for a year, and then keep writing and... ...releasing music and gigging and stuff. Why not? Come here, we're not going to hold back much longer. You want to hear a song for me? Okay. What song are you going to do for me? I want to sing Sue and Emily. It's the one that's been released there last week in the college album. Okay. Yeah. And where can people get that song? You can get it on Spotify or YouTube or... ...Apple music, I think, as well. It's under a paranoid, it's under a college album, so you should find it there. Right. Whenever you're ready, we'd love to hear it. Good luck. Lovely voice, you have a lovely voice. She has a lovely voice. And Michael Bonner says, Lovely song writing and a lovely song. Maria Howard said, beautiful voice. And Daniel Sherdon says, Well done, nice song. There you go. Cheers to that. Isn't it? Nice song. Your recording process, how do you do that? One there, took ages to do, because we had to write songs for classes, and then I wrote that one. And I wanted to get recorded because I really liked it. It was the first one I wrote that I ever really liked. Right. And so I got my lectures, Dominic and Matthew, to help me out. So I sent it to them, and Matthew had a piano and strings to it. And then Dominic's like, I want to add some bass and drums and all that there. And then I listened back to it. I loved the instrumental, and I hated my vocals. And I was like, have to do it again. So I did it again. And then I hated those vocals. And then the ones that were actually on the track, I went, I was like, listen, I have to do this again. And Dominic sat down with me, and he's like so specific in the way he records vocals. He like stopped and started, stopped and started. It's exhausting. But then we got it done, and then we got Harmony's attitude. And you happily at night? Oh, I'm happy with it now. Just something missing the first time, the first couple of times you heard it. There was something missing. And I also had to change a bridge, because it was too long, too wordy. I write too many words, and then I had to cut them down. Who do you sort of like as a songwriter? Who would you listen to if you were a football player? Phoebe Bridgers, 100%. She's like a massive influence for me. I love the way she writes music and stuff. And then also like Jeff Buckley. Oh, Jeff Buckley. Jeff Buckley's class. Very good. You play in a band too as well? I do. Me and my friends started a band there last Christmas for the crack. And how's it going? It's going good. We have a song recorded. We possibly have a gig in two months in Sandino's. We're organizing gigs with the college. Does the college do that too? Is part of the course that they help you with? A part of our assignments, we have to set up gigs. So we had one last week. It was a rap night, and it turned out really well. And so we have to do another few. A rap night? Yeah. It's like a hip hop rap night. So you had to write stuff for that? Well, I don't rap. It wasn't me. The other people, we just had to put on the gigs. So we have the band ones coming up. I'll be in the band one. So part of the thing is you're organizing the gigs. Yeah, the organizing gigs. Very good. How did you find that side of things? Different. Stressful. Was it? Yeah, it was quite stressful because you didn't know if there was actually going to be a turnout. It was the first time we put one on. And especially for the first time in a while at the college, we put one on in Sandino's. So it was just like, I hope people actually show up. And did they? Oh, yeah. We had a great turnout. Brilliant. A brilliant turnout. So I'm hoping the same things come for the bands now. Would you do it again? Oh, yeah. Organize one. Very good. I mean, it's a good experience, like, for yourself. Ah, of course. A very proud mummy here. And fan of listening. Well done, Hannah. Hannah, look. Love you. Mummy, daddy, and the boys. Ah, very nice, isn't it? Ah, can I? Lovely. Graham Strahm says, you're sounding great, Hannah. And Brian Desmond says, traveling soldiers at one of your songs. No, it's not your song. But do you do that in your self-play? No. I used to sing that one of her. I was gigging and fanning. Okay. Don't worry. So are you on social media and stuff? I am. On Instagram. And... Under what name? Just Hannah Low? It's Hannah Low Go To, but then I've got my music account, which is underscore Hannah underscore music. I'll be in my normal Instagram anyways. Uh-huh. Yeah. I'm on that. That's about it, actually. And do you plan to, do you plan to release music or more music? Like an EP or something? Oh, yeah. I'm hoping to get one done by the end of the year. Uh-huh. Either the end of the year or starting next year. So I'm still writing more music, so I need to get that. Do you write all the time? Um, whenever inspiration hits. What way does it work for you songwriting? You know, because I'm always interested in everybody's, you know, do you write it down or do you... I usually, I start with lyrics. I would like write some lyrics down first. Uh-huh. And then I'll find something cool and then I'll try and put music to it then, which is cool to do, but once you get a melody or... Can you pick a, can you pick a topic for a song or does it, you know, does your songwriting go because maybe something's happening in your life? Do you, you know, it's sort of biographical? Um, I write a lot about, like, stuff that's happened. But um, then, yeah, again, when you're writing about yourself, you kind of hate everything you're writing about yourself. But if, like, someone gave me a topic, I could probably, like, write something quite quickly. Have you many songs written at the moment? Um, I had six written last year for, um, or one of our classes, but I hate, yeah, again, most of them. Yes. Would you leave them, would you leave them, like, I know you're not writing songs long, but would you leave them on the back burner to come back again sometimes? Oh, yeah, 100% come back to them. Um, and then the next one, I left off for ages and then I came back and I rewrote some stuff. And then I've got another song as well. It just depends how you feel in a day, I suppose. Well, you know, you can, you can take your time with it because you're young and you'll learn as you go along, you know. Hi Paula, young Lily, sounds brilliant. See, here you go. And we'd love to get another song for me. I know this is, this is an original, another original one you've done. Have you released a second one? Um, this one's currently been recorded. Okay. And my friend Megan, I've done one of them. Right. Yeah. It might sound a bit different in the record than it does now. Oh, sure. It's worth that. The acoustic versions can just be, can't be different, but it can be the same as well too. Yeah. We're looking forward to hearing this. Whatever, Eddie. Much indeed. Best wishes, Hannah, from Brian and all the country roads and see you soon as a message. Ah, perfect. I'll be down for a pint. Hello from your best ever friends and we love you, they're saying. Well, I'd love to get more, but time is unfortunately, but you have a gig coming up, hopefully, you're saying, and Sandino's. Hopefully, yeah. And it'll be what, the next couple of months or so? Yeah, the next few months. Brilliant. We wish you well. Continue your success with your songwriting because your songwriting is absolutely brilliant. I don't know what you'd like yourself for a time, but then again, if you set yourself a standard and it doesn't meet everybody else, you know. So, the songs are released and are available on all the platforms. Aye, all the platforms. Spotify. Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and then I think there's other ones as well. Have you made videos for them? No, no. No. I have to re-release it, so. The beefsteak dancers, Hannah, well done. And that kiddie, is that kiddie? Kiddie Lynch, I love you. That's very kiddie Lynch. There you go. A lot of people send you best wishes. Listen, it's lovely to meet you. Thank you. And thanks for coming up. Thanks for making the journey up and we wish you well. And good luck with your studies. This is your final couple of months now. Ah, getting to the tricky bit now. Why do you do exams then? It's just all assignments and stuff and I need to actually put my head down. But I've done it in case anyone's asked. Yeah, be dead on. Hannah, thanks very much. Thank you. Hannah, hello, everybody.
