Show Notes

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 

Also check out all of Blackbird & Crow's back catalogue on all youtube spotify etc. 

the songs featured today are 'Pox on You', 'Moon Rabbit' and 'The Harlot on the Hill' 

there is also a bonus Girobabies song 'Landfill Culture' played and you can find more of that sort of thing at http://linktr.ee/Girobabies
