The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 158 with Neil Weatherall

Temperatures are more down to what I can handle this week in London. Hurrah! It’s been raining though and I’ve spent the week surrounded by Irish people so it feels a bit like Ireland.

Highlight of the week for me was meeting my favourite film director, Baz Luhrmann, completely by chance in St Pancras Train station. I still haven’t stopped smiling.

Interview with Neil Weatherall – Writer/Director of The Passion of The Playboy Riots

On this week’s show I chat to Neil Weatherall about his play, The Passion of The Playboy Riots. Complete transparency here. I saw this play on Thursday night. You can read about it here. This was after I spoke to Neil about the play.

The play runs until July 8th at The Hen and Chickens, it’s worth your time. Check it out on Facebook and Twitter.

The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 147 with Mark Geary

Ah, the day after St. Patrick’s Day! I had yesterday off, which was great. I’ve been working here in London for a few years now and it’s always a bit weird when you have to go to an office and do a day’s work. Always felt a little hard done by! Not this year though, I had a lovely, chilled relaxing day. Hope you had fun whatever you got up to.

Chat with Mark Geary

I love chatting to Mark, it’s so easy to have a conversation with him. It’s a couple of years since I spoke to him. For this week’s show, we chat about family life, his forthcoming album, ‘The Fool’ and we get a sneaky listen of the first single from the album. The single ‘Battle of Troy’ which will be released in May.

You can find out more about Mark on his website and follow him on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The London Ear on RTE 2XM // Show 107 with Johnny Ward

The London Ear on RTE 2XM // Show 107 // Jan 30 2016

On this week’s show I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak to Johnny Ward, an Irishman, who I have to say, I personally find an inspiration. He is travelling to every country in the world, while running a new $1 million business from the luxury of his laptop. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t want to live like that.

I spoke to Johnny last week, before he headed off to visit some of the most dangerous countries in the world, including Libya and Afghanistan. #hero
