A star-studded batch of free tunes featuring Noel Gallagher, Bruce Springsteen, The Kills and Lana Del Rey. Sort of.
The weather outside may be awful, but in Free Music Friday Land it could not be any sunnier.
First we thought you might like to feast your eyes on the new video for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s ‘We Take Care Of Our Own’, which premiered this very morning.
We’re also muchly taken with the boxing-tastic new promo for Noel Gallagher & His High Flying Birds’ ‘Dream On’ single.
Lest we forget, Noely G and the boys are in Dublin today week for an O2 show that finds them supported by Cashier No. 9.
