ADID 11 - Ben Wanders

Formerly a Dublin resident and a mainstay in many bands and ensembles in Dublin, Cote Calmet popped in and had a chat about growing up in Peru, studying in Brazil, life in Dublin and life now in Granada. At the time of recording we had no idea what was ahead so a lot of this may seem quite dated. Talks of the future, of touring this summer, of festivals and all sorts. Bizarre to think how quickly it can all go away! Nonetheless there's a lot of wisdom in this episode from Cote. Well worth a listen.

No Adam this time so Fiachra and Josh had a chat about all things Talos and Moxie, the Cork music scene, the value of taking a break from playing, and live improvised techno. Hope you enjoy!

Adam and Fiachra chat to Ben Cooper about heroic music teachers, life as an undergrad in Cork, gigging in Dublin, on cruise ships, playing musicals, playing percussion with the national orchestra. Top stuff.

3 hungover puppies talk at length about Girl Band, but mostly just about music. 

Adam and Fiachra chat to Matthew Jacobson about going to Newpark jazz college, a Masters in Lucerne, soon-to-be PhD, getting a Fulbright scholarship, running a label (Diatribe Records), touring in Mongolia, you name it. Longest episode yet. Worth the listen though.

Adam and Fiachra chat to Shay Sweeney about why goats cheese and honey on a French galette is one of the nicest things to eat in the world.

Adam and Fiachra chat to Paul Kenny about his time playing with Get Well Soon, Jape, James Vincent McMorrow and many other things

Adam and Fiachra chat to David Dockery about tuna and brown rice, his online videos, classic albums (?), video game music, his upcoming solo EP and many other things.

Fiachra and Adam chat to Stephen Reilly about touring, Hero In Error, cover bands and recording in Abbey Road!

Adam and Fiachra chat to Ben Wanders about moving to Ireland from the US, 200 gigs a year, cover bands, running a studio and the isolation of Connemara as a sound designer.
