The London Ear on RTE 2XM: Show 1 Sep 18 2013

As you may or may not know, I’ve relocated to London for work but this has given me the opportunity to do a new music show. So I let my unveil ‘The London Ear’. I’m still working on a logo and stuff like that and I’ve been working on an intro for the show.. may still add a little more of it.

Here it is, what do you think?

On this first show, I’m delighted to say that I had the pleasure of chatting to Paul Savage of O Emperor and to Dundalk natives Bold Things, who play the Sebright Arms on Saturday 20th September.. Get down there if you’re in London. I also chose Placebo’s new album ‘Loud Like Love’ as album of the week and played a couple of tracks from that.

Here’s what happened:
1. London Ear Intro
2. The Traps: Calypso

Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM: Show 111 4/09/2013

So today is the last Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM, I’ve just started a new job in London and it’s not that easy to cover arts and culture in one country when you’re living in another. So I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me out over the past four years of Culture Cafe.

It started as a little idea I had for DCUfm after 53 term time episodes there, the show move to RTE 2XM for 111 shows. Thanks to the guys in DCUfm for letting me run with the idea, mind you, even if they didn’t like I probably would have still tried to do it. Thanks to Mark in RTE 2XM, for believing that Culture Cafe could have a national audience and that it was good enough to broadcast on RTE.

Thanks to all the guests who appeared, thanks to the PR companies and managers who got weird calls from me when I said I wanted to speak to their clients. Finally, thank you for listening, if I don’t have listeners there’s no point in having a show. Merci beaucoup, I appreciate it.

This week I spoke to The Late David Turpin about the release of his new album ‘We Belong Dead’.

I’ll be starting a new music based show in the next couple of weeks, stay tuned for details!
