Less than a week ago I made my first Sawdoctors podcast before I knew that N17 had become a hit again. I couldn't be happier for the guys. I have championed their work for nearly thirty years - jeez, are we all going that long!!!- as is evident from this interview which was recorded backstage after one of their gigs in Salthill, in 1992 for The Joe Jackson weekly interview slot in The Irish Times.  In my intro, I explain why I was determined to give my weekly slot to music acts from outside bloody Dublin, which the media still regards as the centre of Ireland, if not God's gift to the planet! Of course, I am kidding. Maybe. The sound at the start isn't great. We are backstage but as the interview progresses the sound improves. Because the lads are so loved I have decided to upload the entire tape we recorded that day, two more Saddoctors podcasts to follow.
