The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 115 with Arveene and Kiernan McMullan

This week’s show was a bit of a personal throwback. The last time I spoke to either of this week’s guests was about 2005/2006. It was great to catch up with DJ and Producer Arveene to chat about What is Ireland? From 1916 to 2016 and Beyond Arveene’s on the bill with Le Galaxie, Kormac and CiCi at the Red Gallery in Shoreditch on April 22nd.

It was also really good to see Kiernan McMullan. Kiernan is the last person I ever thought that I would meet in London as he is now based in Nashville. It was great to catch up with him and see how the Irish in Nashville are getting on.
