We welcome back three familiar faces from the Class of 1992 — musicians Pat Kiernan, Richard Kehoe, and Keelan Cuniffe — they return to the studio slightly greyer, possibly wiser, and definitely still capable of musical mischief. The episode dives into long-lost lunchtime echoes from the Dan Donovan Theatre, where vintage footage resurfaces of the lads performing as their gloriously overconfident school band, The Buzzin Half Dozen. Expect squeaky chairs, heroic adolescent ambition, and the unmistakable sound of teenagers convinced they’ve already made it.

Now, decades later, they’re back in the same orbit, reformed as 'THE P45s!' They reflect on life in Pres in the late ’80s and early ’90s — the hair, the habits, and the half-remembered legends that still linger in the corridors. Holding it all together (or gently unravelling it) is Sam Palliser Kehoe, steering the conversation with equal parts interrogation and affectionate disbelief. It’s part reunion, part time capsule, and part proof that some riffs — and friendships — refuse to fade.
