Sin Scéal Eile

Aoife was our second guest on the All Curious Minds stage at All Together Now and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. She took us on a fiercely emotional journey about her experience with ayahuasca in Brazil. It led her to completely change her life and become the incredible woman she is today.

Both our guests at ATN, Faye and Aoife, are stunning women. They’re courageous, raw, emotional, powerfully honest and conscientious activists. I was so honoured that they joined me. I was also so touched to see the tent completely packed, especially at 1pm on a Sunday. Thank you, so much.

Wow. Just wow. We had our very first live podcast with an audience down at the All Together Now festival in Waterford. We packed out the tent, and I couldn't have asked for better guests, Faye O'Rourke (Soda Blonde) and Aoife Dunne (whose episode we'll share tomorrow).
Faye is so creative and channels all of her emotions into both her songwriting and her visual arts. We chat about her process, what drives her, and about getting dark with her art. An incredibly brave and fearless woman (even if she doesn't think so herself!)

I can't thank Faye and Aoife enough for taking time out of the Sunday festival to join us on Sin Scéal Eile, and also to all the lovely listeners who piled in the tent. The All Curious Minds stage is ran so well by Raymond and David Bell (whose father you might remember from episode 14/365). Such an amazing family.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a more genuine and down to earth fella. Against all odds, Fergus has learned to walk again after a spinal cord injury. He’s now challenged himself to walk 4,500km across America to raise awareness and one million euro for Spinal Injuries Ireland. It’s no mean feat, even for the most able bodied person, but Fergus is determined and knows what he needs to do to succeed.
We wish him all the best with this epic challenge. If you’re in the states, check out his walking route and join him for a stroll along the way.

Brian knows how to live a good life. After years of teaching, he has retired to his dream home on Inishbofin. He plays tunes in the local pub, cooks up a storm for the community festivals, and just generally treats himself to a nice life. What’s most adorable about Brian is his new fond love of tattoos, especially his matching ones with his daughter.

We meet some amazing people doing this series, none more so than the legendary Nicky Broujos. Admittedly, I know nothing about Irish football, but I know that Nicky is a complete gent. He’s kind, funny and super welcoming. He’s generous with his storytelling today, even though he says he doesn’t do a lot of chatting these days due to complications from his cancer treatment affecting his speech.

Nicky was a goalkeeper for teams like Bray Wanderers, Sligo Rovers and Cliftonville across the 80s and 90s and has so many stories from that time but what really catches my attention today though is the incredible youthwork he did alongside football.
