Niamh's Midnight Mixtape

Niamh's Midnight Mixtape

Niamh has been a producer on the late show on weeknights on BBC5 Live. A number of songs were suggested for a mini-mixtape. Unfortunately Niamh isn't a popular name for songs, so some rules had to bent...
A song that features "Niamh" is Waterboys' version of "Hosting of the shee", which is actually poem written by WB Yeats with the line, "And Niamh calling Away, come away"
