    What’s up?

    It’s been a mental week for me. Truly. Since the news filtered out that RTE’s digital services are to be no more, it has given me an extra oomph to show how important is to highlight new arts and culture in Ireland and with the Irish community outside Ireland.

    Interview with Darce

    I was delighted to be able to catch up with Cork hip hop / urban / pop artist, Darce on this week’s show. The man just seems to be releasing a shedload of tracks at the moment, including collaborations with Will De Burca and Jack Rua.

    I love when the conversation flows. We chatted about his music, his positivity, his film and acting work and more.

    You can find Darce on Spotify, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

    Also, shout out to Darce’s mum Lillian who listened to the show. Rumour has it, she’s now our number 1 fan! 🙂

    News about RTE Digital Stations

    As per last week, you may have heard on the news, or read on the pages of this blog, RTE has announced plans to cease their DAB broadcasting. I received an email saying that everything would continue as normal for the time being. Either way, The London Ear will continue, providing a platform for the Irish community in London. I’ll keep you posted but for the time being, it’s business as usual.

    If you’re Irish, outside Ireland and would like to get involved. Please get in touch.

    Interview with Shobsy from State Lights

    State Lights black and white promo shot

    It was lovely to catch up with Shobsy from State Lights. We had a great chat about the band, their history and their forthcoming gig in London.

    As a side note, total professionalism from Shobsy, I forgot to confirm the time and called him on a Sunday, it was no hassle, he still took the call. Thank you, kind Sir!

    Tickets for the show at the Islington on November 12 are available here.

    You can find out more about the band on Facebook, Twitter, Insta and you can listen to the band on Spotify.

    Interview with The Late David Turpin (Part 2)

    This is the second part of a two part interview I had with The Late David Turpin about his new album “ROMANCES”. David worked with 12 male singers on this album about love, lust, sexuality, all from the male point of view. It is genuinely beautiful album.

    You can find out more from TheLateDavidTurpin.com, David’s Facebook, Twitter, Insta and you can listen to David’s music on Spotify.
