• Episode 78: George Hutton on Touring Canada, Joining The Celtic Tenors & Working with Hugh Jackman

  Conor sits down with returning guest George Hutton, who has had an incredibly busy and exciting year since his last appearance on the show. George has collaborated with actor Hugh Jackman, become a member of the world-renowned Celtic Tenors, toured across Canada while working on a brand-new album, and even stepped into the film industry—writing and starring in his own short film Scáth, which is now making waves on the festival circuit.In this conversation, George opens up about his experiences in Canada, the journey that led him to join the Celtic Tenors, and what it’s like performing as part of an ensemble compared to being a soloist. He also reflects on his time working alongside Hugh Jackman, shares his ambitions for the future, and discusses the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people to grow both personally and professionally.The discussion also explores wider topics, including Ireland’s complex relationship with alcohol, the impact it has on society, and the challenges we face as a nation. George gives his perspective on the controversial debate around whether flying the Irish flag can be considered racist—a conversation that naturally branches into a broader reflection on racism and its continued presence in today’s world.To round things off, Conor introduces a new segment designed to uncover the real George Hutton through a series of fun and thought-provoking questions—leading to plenty of laughs along the way.
