La Mansarda, an amazing cultural events company is organising a fantastic festival this Saturday the 27th of July at Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin. It's an amazing opportunity to enjoy some performances from wonderful artists and at the same time get to meet people from all over the world who are based in Dublin.

I loved the idea of this festival and decided to interview some of the artists performing on the day. This episode is a conversation with Compagnia Nous, an Italian performing arts group from Napoli. Their creativity and love for what they do is infectious and I loved chatting to them about all things Napoli and Dublin. This is a good one if you want to practice your Italian!

The revenue from the ticket sales will be equally split: half to support the arts, therefore for artists performing, and half to support EMERGENCY NGO.

I hope you enjoy this episode and hopefully see you at Smock Alley Theatre this Saturday!

I loved the idea of this festival and decided to interview some of the artists performing on the day. This episode is a conversation with Pilar Paradela, a stunning harp player who brings her music to life with her melodies.

I hope you enjoy this episode and hopefully see you at Smock Alley Theatre this Saturday!

This is a great chat that I had with Arn about music, his life story so far and about the gig he has in Whelan’s Thursday the 20th of June. He’ll have support from David San Clair and Daragh Daly and look listen lads, these fellas have got some serious talent. We’ve had David play one of our shows and he blew us all away. I’ve heard phenomenal things about Daragh and just have a listen to some of the stuff Arn has put out on Spotify and you’ll know that this is a massively undervalued gig… Get down there if you can, I’ll leave a link to Arn’s Spotify and the gig tickets in the description of this episode

Before we jump in, to our regular listeners I wanted to apologise for the irregularity of the episodes recently…It’s been a mad year so far and as much as I’d love to spend every waking minute working on this podcast, it just hasn’t been possible recently. Thanks so much to everyone who has written in…I will respond to all of you soon… and we will get back to our previous rhythm again soon. Let’s call this downtime Mark’s little hiatus…

With a surprising number of references to roads and driving...Mark and Eoin take on the theme of 'choosing your battles'. Ryanair flights, the M50, and growing up with the Catholic church, they bounce their ideas off a number of Irish cultural phenomenons.

Have a listen to this episode and let us know what you think!

Mark and Eoin have a chat about an infamous character of Dublin, Pat the Hat. As per usual, we get sidetracked 1000 times during our conversation but hopefully we manage to give you some kind of an idea of this incredible man's life.
