Emlyn Holden & Madeleine Leclézio of the Southern Fold dropped in to chat and play songs from the new release.

Emlyn has returned with a new lineup of Stephen Doohan (guitars), Brian McGrath (bass), Peter Flynn (keyboards), Gregor Beresford (drums) and Madeleine Leclézio (vocals), joining him to work on his collection of songs, old and new with a view to an album later in the year. It's to be entitled "Beneath the Blaze of the Burning Sun” and is the result of initial home recordings and further band recordings with acclaimed producer Leo Pearson in Barn Studios, Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny.

We recorded the music with Emlyn and Madeleine and Emlyn returned to chat about things

I got to catch up Annika Kilkenny, a young musician and songwriter in Studio 2. We discussed her musical starting points and how she came to move from classical music to her own compositions.

I think you'll see, as I did, that this is a musician destined for great things and is determined to make her way in the world.
