Hot Press and Guinness present: Celaviedmai on the brilliant buzz in the West

Together with Guinness, Hot Press are thrilled to announce a brand new series, celebrating our all-time favourite things: great music, brilliant chats, and the hunt for the perfect pint. Across a series of special videos, we sit down with a dazzling selection of Irish artists, who present their case for the best spot in Ireland for a Guinness.

Kicking off proceedings is hotly tipped rapper and performer Celaviedmai, flying the flag for Galway.

At the heart of the series, which is tied in with the Lovely Day For A Guinness campaign, is an appreciation for the inspiring and diverse culture, history and beauty of Ireland – which tends to be on particularly fine display whenever the sun decides to shine. Each artist in the series takes us straight to the heart of their selected city or town, whether it be their hometown, a spot imbued with happy memories, or an adopted home away from home. The videos offer a unique insight into what makes each artist tick – as they share their iconic reflections, impart some words of wisdom, and pay homage to the place that means so much to them.

One of the brightest young rappers and performers on the Irish scene, Celaviedmai continues to mark herself as a star poised for an international breakthrough – following lauded live appearances, and the release of her Both Sides of the Story EP earlier this year.

Watch the Galway-born artist tell us about her favourite spot for a pint in her hometown, and share some special – and sometimes hilarious – memories and recommendations, below:
