In this episode Andy Cairns joins me to chat about the writing and recording of Therapy’s debut album Nurse released on A&M records in 1992.

To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited ·

2022/08/19

A bonus episode before Season 2 begins. This episode doesn't revisit an Irish album, but instead details an incredible Irish music story. Fail We May, Sail We Must – the story of how a chance meeting in 2008 between Andrew Weatherall, the world-renowned DJ, producer and remixer, and Gerard Sheehy, a Co. Cork fisherman inspired Weatherall to use the phrase “Fail We May, Sail We Must” as a personal mantra and get it tattooed on his arms. The documentary tells how the phrase, in turn has become an

To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited ·

2022/06/30

Season 1 ends with the story of Microdisney. For this episode I revisit Iron Fist in Velvet Glove - the story of Microdisney, my documentary from 2017. It tells how Cathal Coughlan and Sean O’Hagan met in Cork at a New Year’s Eve party in 1979 and formed a band. Microdisney went through several incarnations before Cathal and Sean upped sticks to London in July 1983. Over the course of the next five years they released two albums on Rough Trade Records and a further two on Virgin Records before

2022/05/20

This episode focuses on two albums by Rollerskate Skinny. Shoulder Voices was released on Beggars Banquet sub-label Placebo in 1993 and Horsedrawn Wishes followed in 1996 on Warner Bros. These are two magnificent albums, the band also gifted us ‘Speed to My Side’, one of the greatest Irish singles ever. Rollerskate Skinny mainman Ken Griffin joins me for a discussion that takes in the band's early days; moving to London; scoring an NME ‘Single of the Week’ with Trophy - their second EP; being

The story of Stump, the Irish-English experimental, rock band from the 1980s. For this episode I revisit Lights! Camel! Action! - the story of Stump, my documentary from 2016. The members of Stump and key figures in their story (legendary producer Hugh Jones, journalists Simon Reynolds and John Robb, Nigel Grainge from Ensign Records, Elvera Butler from the Downtown Kampus at the Arcadia in Cork, "Irish" Jack Lyons and others) tell how the band went from the NME’s C86 cassette to topping

EP14 - Ghostown by The Radiators

To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited ·

2022/04/22

"No Irish band has ever attempted anything as ambitious as Ghostown, and no one ever will. Why should it? It has been done and, like Pet Sounds, it's a monument forever" (George Byrne, Sunday Times, 1998). Ghostown was recorded in 1978 and released over a year later in August 1979. In this episode I’m joined by The Radiators's Pete Holidai to discuss Ghostown. Our chat covers a lot of ground: the early days of The Radiators; playing one of Ireland’s first big outdoor concerts at
