Over the West Online Radio
A Home for Irish-Made Music
Founded by singer-songwriter, educator, and creative entrepreneur Maria McCormack, Over the West Online Radio was created with a simple but powerful vision: to champion Irish-made music and provide a platform where artists can be heard, supported, and celebrated.
What began as an online radio station has grown into a thriving community of musicians, songwriters, listeners, and supporters who share a passion for original music and authentic storytelling. At the heart of Over the West is a commitment to showcasing the incredible talent being created across Ireland and ensuring that artists have a space where their voices matter.
Our motto says it all:
If You Create It, We Will Play It.
This guiding principle has shaped everything we do. We believe that every artist deserves the opportunity to share their music with the world, regardless of where they are on their creative journey. From debut releases to seasoned performers, we proudly support artists by giving their music a platform and helping them connect with new audiences.
Through carefully curated playlists, artist features, interviews, live broadcasts, and special programming, Over the West Online Radio celebrates the richness, diversity, and creativity of Ireland's music scene. We are passionate about discovering new talent, nurturing emerging artists, and shining a spotlight on the songs and stories that deserve to be heard.
As a global online station, we are proud to bring Irish-made music to listeners across Ireland and around the world. Every broadcast is an opportunity to introduce audiences to new artists, foster meaningful connections, and strengthen the community that surrounds independent music.
Today, Over the West Online Radio forms part of the Over the West Creative Collective, a wider creative community dedicated to supporting artists, encouraging creativity, and creating opportunities through music, education, collaboration, and connection.
Whether you're an artist looking for a platform, a songwriter seeking inspiration, or a listener searching for your next favourite song, you'll find a warm welcome here.
