Here in part two of our My Country Life podcast with Margo, Ireland’s Queen of Country & Irish recalls her many struggles in life, including a personal battle with alcoholism back in the day. Margo opens up about her regret at never becoming a mother and reveals that she still carries a torch for her first love who remains a friend and gave her a personal gift on her 70th birthday – with the blessing of his wife. The legendary singer tells how she lost out on an estimated fortune of €17 million throughout her career before winning back the rights to her recordings in a court case. She also shares the inside story of her close friendship with American country music legend Dolly Parton and pays tribute to her brother, Daniel O’Donnell.
