    Happy Easter!

    It’s great having a four-day weekend! I’m fully of the opinion that if we had longer weekends or a four-day week, that it would cut down on unemployment and everyone would have a little bit more time to do what they really wanted to. Using every Saturday as a rest day for the previous week leaves you with one day to have fun. Who’s with me?

    Interview with writer/playwright Sue Healy

    Irish Playwright - Sue Healy - The London Ear

    Today on The London Ear, I chat to Irish playwright, Sue Healy. Sue’s play ‘Cow’ is on tonight (April 15) in the Etcetera Theatre, over the Oxford Arms pub in Camden at 945pm.

    Cow is ‘An entertaining light comedy that also mulls contemporary issues including immigration, perceptions of women and infertility’. It’s also got a bit of a DJ Carey obsession going on.

    Sue has a fantastic CV of achievements, you can read all about her work on her website and you can follow Sue on Twitter.

    Keep an eye out for more ‘Cow’ dates this summer!

    Interview with Moses from Bokito

    Bokito - The London Ear

    Get two lads from Kildare, three from lads from the UK, a touch of hip hop and afrobeat vibes, put it altogether and you end up with Bokito.

    I played their track ‘Better at getting Worse’ on the show and you know what? I absolutely love it. It’s a fantastic debut release so I had to get chatting to the guys behind the sound and find out what is going on.

    You can find out more about the band on Facebook, Twitter and on Instagram.

    They play The Tram in Tooting on April 22nd and Whelan’s in Dublin on April 28th.

    On this week’s show, I spoke to London based band Jingo about their new single A.D.D. I met them in St Pancras Old Church, King’s Cross, just before their single launch.

    So over the next while, I’m going to try and feature more arts segments on the show. If you’re Irish and based in London, involved in music, arts or culture, get in touch, I’d love to chat to you for the show. If you’re a regular listener, you’ll know that before I moved to London, I presented, Culture Cafe for two years on RTÉ 2XM. I’d love to give more of a voice to the Irish in London who work in the arts.

    Anyway, back to today’s show, here’s what else happened:
