The London Ear // Show 255 – Crawley Irish Festival

Hello!

Welcome to this week’s episode of The London Ear.

Interview with John Nolan from Crawley Irish Festival

On today’s show I’m delighted to speak John Nolan who is Chair of the Celtic and Irish Cultural Society who are putting on the Crawley Irish Festival, taking place on August 25th.

This is the 24th year that the festival has taken place and it was lovely to speak to John about the history and all the work that goes into making a free festival like this happen. John was extremely honest, speaking about funding and how the festival is financed.

The London Ear 254 // Pat Dam Smyth & Chloe Ray

Hello, back on the radio after a couple of weeks away with two great interviews with London based musicians, Pat Dam Smyth and Chloe Ray.

Chat with Pat Dam Smyth

I’ve been meaning to catch up with Pat Dam since I moved to London. Someone asked me if I knew him. It’s taken me a while but I really enjoyed my chat with him. Pat has just released his new album ‘The Last King’ and it harks back to Pat’s life in Northern Ireland in the 1990s.

You can find out more about Pat Dam on Facebook, Twitter and on his website.

Chat with Chloe Ray

It was great to firstly to be introduced to Chloe’s music and secondly get to chat to her for The London Ear. Chloe is from South London and has a new EP out, entitled “Stories and Sidewalks’. It was great to chat about the influence New York City has had on her life as well as the search her family are on, trying to find out more about their Irish heritage.
