Today on the podcast is a guest I've wanted to have on for literal years - I am going to be joined by Guitarist, DJ and Producer, Daniel Cullen!

You may know him from his work with bands such as Rouen, Identity Thief, Denim Teeth, Glasseyed and most recently, the freshly formed Hardcore band, The Neck!

I'll chat with Daniel about all of his musical projects, opening for Rolo Tomassi as Rouen, joing Glasseyed, his love of Metal and how his latest Hardcore band, 'The Neck', formed and some early insight into what the band sounds like!

The Neck are making their debut gig tomorrow in Sin E as part of The Gathering: A night in aid of Enable Ireland alongside Answerer, Tide7, Lymphoedema and TOOMS! All proceeds are going towards Enable Ireland and you can get tickets online at ie.powertik.com

Today on the podcast, Mr Billy Fitzgerald makes his return to the show to chat about his latest release, the brilliant 'Little Gestures'.

The last time Billy was on, he was here to talk about the release of his lush indie-pop masterpiece ‘A Grand Romantic Gesture’, 10 songs that simultaneously bathe in the faded light of heartbreak while pulling you on to the dancefloor.

To mark this anniversary of the release Mr Billy Fitzgerald returns with a live EP ‘Little Gestures’. The EP takes 4 tracks from the album and reimagines them for the live environment. Having spent the last year touring the album, Billy found that the songs evolved with the energy of a live band and after being inspired by NPR’s famous Tiny Desk series decided to capture the songs in a new stripped down form. Recorded while recovering from the effects of long-covid Billy credits this as his most honest vocal performance recorded to date. Calling on his wife and friends to help bring these versions to life, recording was carried out guerilla style in bedrooms, rehearsal studios and secret spaces. The recordings capture the energy of this, employing shakers, drum machines and melodicas in a stark contrast to the maximalist approach to production on the record. The EP acts as both the perfect entry point for the uninitiated and as a worthy companion piece to the album for fans.

I'll be going through the recording process of this EP with Billy, his favourite Tiny Desk performances, Lionel Richie and what how stripping back a song can give it a entirely new feeling!
