    The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // 214 with Rónán Hession

    I was delighted to be joined by Rónán Hession on today’s episode of The London Ear. As I said during our chat, I think the last time I saw Rónán was at an open mic night in MB Slattery’s in Rathmines, maybe 12/13 years ago.

    Rónán is an accomplished musician and under the moniker Mumblin Deaf Ro, released three albums including Dictionary Crimes, which was nominated for the Choice Music Prize in 2012.

    Rónán has now turned his hand to writing novels, his first, ‘Leonard and Hungry Paul’ will be published through Bluemoose Books in March 2019.

    On October 1st, Rónán will be joining a number of writers in Waterstones, Tottenham Court Road, for an evening of new writing. The evening is presented by the North Fiction Alliance. As with a lot of industries in the UK, book publishing seems to be London centric. This group focuses on how many great little publishers there are outside London, in this case in the North of England. Bluemoose Books, who are publishing Rónán’s novel, are based in Yorkshire.

    I’m going to be there on October 1st, hope you join me. You can get your tickets here.

    You can find out more about Rónán on Twitter and Facebook.

    The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 184 with Author, Eithne Cullen

    On today’s show, I spoke to author, Eithne Cullen about her book ‘The Ogress of Reading’. Amelia Dyer, whom the book is about, was a seriously nasty piece of work. Living in the late 1800s, she set up houses where ‘girls in trouble’ could come take respite, she also adopted unwanted babies. However – these are my words, not Eithne’s – she was an evil, murderous, nasty woman.

    Eithne is originally from Dublin but moved to London when she was six years old. We speak about her book and her Irish background.

    You can purchase ‘The Ogress of Reading’ from Amazon. You can find out a little more about Eithne here

    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!
