Sin Scéal Eile

Meadhbh has an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to Irish Trad musicians. I nod and smile politely, pretending to know the famous uilleann pipers and box players that she’s casually mentioning. She’s young, but fierce, and on her way to bring Irish music to Europe.

She believes that trad music should be accessible and ever evolving. She’s so passionate about music, culture and heritage, but it’s when she speaks of her late mum, Gerardine, that I see her really light up.

If you’re a fan of Only Fools and Horses, you’ll know where Leo got the name for his restaurant. On the main street in Ballymahon is where you’ll find the wonderfully named Jolly Boy’s Pizza.

After doing a fair bit of traveling, sampling different street foods and a wide variety of cuisines, Leo decided to come home to Longford and follow in his parent’s footsteps and feed Ballymahon!

Just before lockdown, in what many would think was the absolute worst time to open a business of any kind, Leo’s pizza business thrived, and it’s a genuine pleasure to hear someone speak so fondly of working in hospitality and contributing to his community.

Liam has been involved in acting his whole life. At the age of 23, he got the part of a young vicar on Emmerdale, where he spent three years in the very fast paced world of TV, often just getting one take to deliver your lines perfectly.

He’s since moved back to Limerick where he acknowledges a huge change in the amount of regional theatre companies and the amount of shows they’re producing. It’s not all doom and gloom though, Limerick theatre folk have a lot to be delighted about, especially with a Blindboy play currently in the Abbey.

Eamon is a very good pal of mine. He's one of the most honest, dependable, stand up people I know. Funny, compassionate and always rocking a 10/10 fit. Beoga, the Irish trad band, has been his baby for decades, along with Niamh, Séan Óg, Damian and Liam. Eamon is a founding member of the charitable coalition, Irish Artists for Palestine, which began not long after Oct 7th. Leaping into action, hosting gigs and fundraisers across Ireland. I witnessed him pouring his heart, soul and every penny into raising awareness and vital funds for Palestine.

When Ed Sheeran made his decision to exclude Macklemore from his tour, my first thoughts went to Beoga. They were Ed's touring band, accompanying him around the world, locked into a comfortable contract.

Eamon considers Ed a friend. They have collaborated on tracks for over 10 years. Beoga were a small enough Irish trad band, who were now playing massive stadiums across the world. They were suddenly thrown into the spotlight and forced to make a very public and difficult decision. Thankfully, they made the right one. But it can't have been easy.
