Suzanne Joubert

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Singer songwriter Suzanne Joubert who is currently living in Ballycotton in Co Cork ‘Come on Home’ is the debut disc from South African born, but Ireland based singer/songwriter Suzanne Joubert; since 2004 she has been recording and performing live with Declan Sinnott (renowned producer of Sinead Lohan and Mary Black) - the results of this partnership are evident in this melodic and accessible album. Known for his polished, but sensitive and empathetic work, his production style proves to be the perfect vehicle for Joubert’s silky-smooth voice as the songs have strong melodies and hooks, but also decently crafted lyrics.

Phil Coulter pt 1

Phil Coulter interview on Friday 11th Sept 2009

When it comes to being a legend in the music industry there is none bigger in the Irish Music Industry then songwriter, producer, musician, arranger Phil Coulter. This week I had the pleasure of talking with Phil before his upcoming show in Cork Opera House on Sunday 13th Sept. I asked him about this show and how did it differ to other shows and he explained that it was an evening about the songs and songwriters which grew out of the success of the songwriter slot on his tv show Coulter & Company which has aired for the last three years. Its a relaxed approach to a live music show which he intends to take around the country on tour.

John Sheehan The Dubliners

This week I spoke with John Sheehan on the phone about his upcoming concert in Cork Opera House this August. Sometimes referred to as, "The quiet one," John is the only member of the group to have had a formal musical education. He was rather proud of this status Until quite recently when an old man in a rural district of Ireland came up to him, following a concert, and said, "Tell me, young fellow, do you read music or are you gifted?"
