    The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 204 with Stephen Bradley and Chris from The Elation

    What a show! I’m thrilled every week I get to do this. I love radio, I love being able to give a voice to passionate, talented people so I was delighted to be about to chat to actor, Stephen Bradley and to Christ from Limerick band, The Elation.

    Interview with Actor, Stephen Bradley

    Judgement - Stephen Bradley

    I was delighted to get a tip off from an online friend about Stephen Bradley. Stephen is a London based, Irish actor and has been working on a series of warm up shows for this play ‘Judgement’ which he is bringing to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

    It was lovely to speak to someone when you can hear the passion in their voice for what they do and a belief in their work. ‘Judgement’ is a one man show and Stephen spoke about the journey he has been through to get the play to where it is now.

    “Judgement puts us face to face with one soldier’s reality and asks us to put his fate in our hands. Hear the facts laid bare in a stark account of what human survival in it’s darkest hour truly means.”

    Best of luck in Edinburgh, Stephen!

    Edit: There’s still time to catch one of the preview shows in Belfast on August 9. Check the details here

    Judgement runs at Natural Food Kafe – Basement Room, 55 Clerk Street, Edinburgh. Playing nightly at 7:25PM, Sunday 19th – Saturday 25th August.

    You can find out more about Stephen on his Facebook page and on Twitter.

  • Culture Café // Episode 2 // David Gilna

    Culture Café // Episode 2 // David Gilna

    For Episode 2 of Culturé Cafe, I wanted to speak to someone on the rise, someone who is working their way up, getting their name out there, getting places. That person is David Gilna, a London based Irish playwright, actor, producer and now author, and someone whose positivity knows no bounds.

    David’s Story

    David was kind enough to tell us about his latest play ‘My Bedsit Window’, being hit by lighting and how it led him to write a play ‘The Gift of Lightning’ which is is now being turned into a full length feature film by Blue Pip Productions.

    David is such a positive person, and he has written an ebook ‘50 Lightning Tips About The Entertainment Business – Change Your Life Today‘ which you can get on Amazon. Reading this and speaking to David, it’s not hard to see why he sometimes runs motivational events for the entertainment industry.

    David also speaks about the three projects he is currently working on. A fantastic young artist with such a fantastic outlook.

    I might be biased but it’s well worth a listen!
