Á Tea For Two with Áine Tyrrell

As someone said to me last week, Mandy Nolan is a whole lot of woman.  What words can contain this mighty woman who I am lucky enough to call my witch, best friend, and sister. We met years ago on a couch when accidentally someone missed a flight and she had to step into interview me. I laughed and cried in that interview which is the usual with Mandy, but I didn't know that at the time. And that...

What can I say about Emily Lubitz? I first heard Emily's voice at Queenscliff Music Festival years ago when she played a set before mine and I was just mesmerised by her and TinPan Orange and been her and the band's biggest fans ever since. When I first moved to the Northern Rivers, Bundjalung Country a friend put me in touch with another musician who had just recently moved here with kids as well...

It is Á Tea for Three this time with Susan Quirke and Ruairí McKiernan .  This all started with previous podcast guest, Laura Murphy, poet and activist.

It is a big move from Clare to this continent and when Susan and...

DOBBY... oh my goodness what can I even say.  I met Rhyan Clapham aka Dobby outside a hotel in New Orleans on the Folk Alliance Conference where we ended up in the same rooms at the same times many a times over the week. I adored his energy and thoughtful nature and we sat in some incredible listening and learning spaces together. Of course I was there to witness his showcase and thought I would l...

What a way to end Á TEA FOR TWO for a high note in 2022. With Kerryn Fields . I don't even know what to say about Kerryn apart from the majestic person that is Kerryn Fields is what you need in your ear buds this weekend. To be in story and space with her is a gift. Her songwriting and musicianship is ALL the things of course, but it is her essence which you feel when in Kerryn’s presence and you...
