Live In Ballycotton With The Two Norries

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.

On Sunday 4th of June Niall brought the Where Is My Mind? Podcast to the beautiful Ballycotton in East Cork. He couldn’t visit the Rebel County without speaking to two of the most profound voices on mental health and addiction, not just in Cork but in all of Ireland, The Two Norries. 

James Leonard and Timmy Long are The Two Norries, an incredible duo from a disadvantaged part of North Cork. Both James and Timmy had a difficult start to life that led them down the road of crime, prison time, addiction and homelessness. They have now turned their lives around and use their podcast platform to share their own stories and the voices of others, and push for better awareness and systems for people who are struggling they way they did. 

James and Timmy gives us an insight to their early lives, how that trauma followed them through life and what would have helped them while they were at their lowest.
