Last Thursday night, I did an impromptu Q&A session online with Dave Browne from Legendary Irish band, Picturehouse.
The band have just released a live album, the master of which was found a couple of months ago. The album ‘1999 – Live in Dublin’ was recorded at a gig that the band played in the Olympia in Dublin on October 30th.
We had a great catch up and Dave even played three songs. It was a planned thing at all and I was delighted that Craig from RockingChair.ie asked me to do the Q&A earlier that evening.
I was blown away with all the comments and banter on Facebook, it was genuinely a lovely evening! Make sure you grab a copy of the album!
On today’s programme I was delighted to be joined by Co-Director, Séan McCormack and Producer, Moe Honan, from ‘Two by Two: Overboard!’ The little indie Irish animated film which recently went to number one in the UK Box Office.
I find out lots about the world of film and animation, we chat about remote working and how Covid has effected the release of the film.
Seán McCormack was born in Ireland, grew up in Luxemborg and went to Uni in England. He’s now living in London and is a successful animator and director.
You can find out more about him and his work at his website.
Moe Honan is a CEO of Moetion Films is based on the GMIT campus in Galway.
We had a tiny issue with the audio when Moe starts speaking at the beginning of the interview, we resolve it so please stick with it.
