Culture Cafe on RTÉ 2XM: Podcast: Interview with Example

(Update: due to a technical c*ck up, this week’s show wasn’t broadcast today, hopefully it should be all sorted for the repeat on Sunday at 9pm on 2XM – In the meantime, I had this ready for you, enjoy!)

Last Thursday, Arthur’s Day, I had the privilege of chatting to Example in the Penthouse Suite of the hotel where all the press interviews were taking place. He’s lovely guy, immediately putting me at ease, tapping the sofa for me to go sit beside him. I really enjoyed it, he’s a lovely guy, was slagging me off and does a terrible but hilarious impersonation of Louis Walsh, he also tells me about working with Graham Coxon from Blur.

Hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did.

Here’s the video for his current single: Say Nothing.
