We speak to the voice of one of my favourite Irish bands of all time Maighread Ní Ghrásta of Blackbird & Crow fame. This was recorded a few weeks back now when I was in a garden in Tepozlan, Mexico. We discuss Irish passports, Paegenism , Stage fright, Why Blackbird & Crow broke up and her new solo theatre/ musical hybrid. This is perfectly timed to drop ahead of her playing our private party on the isle of Arran next week which sold out weeks ago. There may be a few returns if you fancy it but you need to be a patreon to get an invite which you can join by clicking here: http://patreon.com/youcallthatradio
