Episode 49 takes us to Biloxi, Mississippi in the USA for a chat with the delightful daughter of Derry: Mairéad Carlin of Celtic Woman. Despite the geographical distance between Fender and Mairéad the chat is rather homely given that Fender also comes from Derry.

Conversation includes: introductions; the history of Celtic Woman; Mairéad’s personal journey into Celtic Woman; Hugo Carlin and the Trend Showband; Áine Carlin and her 5 vegan cookbooks (so far!); favourite Irish poems; favourite Irish song; Declan O’Rourke; Paul Brady; Eleanor McEvoy; favourite Irish winner of the Eurovision Song Contest; favourite song of Derry; Danny Boy; Elvis Presley; Phil Coulter; The Undertones; Paul McCloone; Greg McCartney & The Undertones mural; Teenage Kicks; the different bands practising on Hamilton Street in the Bogside; recording in Abbey Road Studios as a 15 year old; Stuart Barr; Tim Sutton; Fiachra Trench working with Paul McCartney in Studio 1; Mairéad’s favourite podcast; favourite letter in the Book Of Kells; Tracy Emin; Cormac Crummey; Ciaran from Music Capital; Éabha McMahon; McElroy Guitars; ‘Awkward Annie’ by Kate Rusby performed by Mairéad and Cormac; Monroe’s live music venue in Galway, as well as other topics.
