Description

But in this special interview side project, host Damien had to opportunity to chat with Michael Smyth from Belfast shoegaze band Virgins. Following the success of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Nothing Hurt and Everything Was Beautiful’, they return with the intoxicating new single 'b l o o m s' via Blowtorch Records and Michael spoke about his love of music, Virgins as a band and the journey so far, making a living as a musician, his Old Crow Promotions company and never having enough fuzz pedals :) 

It was a bit of "craic", chatting with him.
