    The London Ear // Show 272 – Festive Favourites

    Ah! It’s the last show before Christmas. A chance for me to say thank you to all of my guests throughout the year but mostly to you, the listener!

    I started making a radio show for RTE in July 2011 and have loved every minute of it since. Thank you for listening, for your messages, your shares on social media, it means a lot.

    As I’m sure you’ll know there has been a lot in the news lately about changes in RTÉ, as yet, 2XM is unaffected. Thank you for your continued support into 2020. Whatever happens, The London Ear will continue.

    Have a happy and peaceful Christmas!

    The London Ear 268 // Midnight Wayne + Josh from Larkins Interviews

    Hello from London!

    I’ve got two great interviews for you today, hope you enjoy them.

    Interview with Midnight Wayne

    Midnight Wayne - The London Ear

    Midnight Wayne is the moniker Wayne Soper ex The Hot Sprockets is now making music under. I really enjoyed our chat and I love how Wayne described his recording process and the importance of his keyboard to him. He’s very humble and if you ask me, underestimates his own production and musical talents.

    He’s got a new EP out entitled ‘Transend‘ which you can find on Spotify.

    You can find Wayne on Breaking Tunes, Facebook and Twitter.

    Interview with Josh from Larkins

    Larkins - Nessymon

    Manchester band, Larkins are quickly becoming a force to be reckons with. They’re just at the end of an almost 40 date tour, have a new single ‘Not Enough Love’ and took the brave step of releasing a live album, ‘Live at The Albert Hall, Manchester’, as their debut long player.

    I caught up with front man, Josh Noble, ahead of the band’s Academy show in Dublin.

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

    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.

    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! 🙂
