    The London Ear 331 // Laura Elizabeth Hughes In Conversation

    The London Ear // Laura Elizabeth Hughes In Conversation

    Welcome to this week’s episode of The London Ear where I catch up with Laura Elizabeth Hughes to chat about her new EP which is released next Friday.

    Laura Elizabeth Hughes’ new EP ‘We, Myself & I’ is a triumph. Beautifully honest, open and sometimes raw, the EP documents the solitude not just the writer, but we all felt in 2020. It also solidifies LEH as a talented musician and wordsmith.  The EP is self produced and its sparseness gives LEH’s voice, words and musicianship the space for each to shine. An amazing step for the Dublin singer songwriter.

    You can find out more about Laura on her website, Facebook and Insta. And don’t forget you can buy her music on Bandcamp. ‘We, Myself and I’ is released on March 5th which also happens to be Bandcamp Friday, where the good Bandcamp people waive their fees and the artists get all the proceeds. Nice time to buy if you can!

    I was delighted today to be able to chat to Joseph Healy from the London Irish LGBT Network. The LGBT Network along with Irish in Britain are hosting a conference in London on November 1. The conference is entitled “Equality in Ireland: Past and Present”.

    Speakers at the event include:

    • Conor McGinn Labour MP for St Helens>
    • Clare Moore – Love Equality
    • Elisha McCallion MP Sinn Fein
    • Dr David Shaw from Liverpool University’s Institute of Irish Studies who has written a book about the Irish political experience in Britain since the 1940s. He will be addressing the issues of how the AIDS epidemic in Ireland and the Save Ulster from Sodomy campaign in Northern Ireland led to significant emigration from both parts of Ireland.
    • Dr Joanne McCarthy, Co-author of Identity Formation and Conflict in Older Irish Gay Men.
