I sat down with the incredible London based Singer/Songwriter/Poet Gabi Garbutt - bird lover and leader of the group https://www.gabigarbutt.com (Gabi Garbutt and the Illuminations). Gabi is a crafter of magnificently human songs that bring joy and abandon to the legs of those who have been seduced by their upbeat charms.

What has the musical briefing for a Scottish Bagpipe player from the Chief of Clan MacDonald got to do with the amazing debut album by Scottish songstress Catherine Rudie?

Join me as I set sail upon an unchartered ocean with a Capitan whose harbour of origin is the same as mine.  Killarney Singer/Songwriter Brendan O'Shea takes me on journey though his amazing story from the ragged coast of South West Ireland's Co.

I sat down with singer/songwriter and close personal friend Gitta de Ridder who hails from the Dutch Newlands of Flevoland.
