How can I describe the very talented Ralph McLean? Well he is a TV presenter, Radio DJ, respected arts commentator, producer, scriptwriter and newspaper columnist….. Ralph has done it all in his impressive career.
In this podcast we discuss his road trip through America, which I am very jealous of, as it just sounded like the trip of trips. He tells me about the time he interviewed Harrison Ford and all he could think was "That's Han Solo". He also describes going to interview Dolly Parton at her home, in her own little church with the stained glass windows. He paints the picture.
One thing that stood out mostly about Ralph in this podcast is his sheer passion and commitment to music, whether its on a personal level on via the various mediums and platforms that he shares, through radio, TV or print.
A perfect podcast for this weekend. You can thank me later!

John McCormick is the founder and Owner of Helen's Bay Organic farm, which has been in operation for over 30 years. There is a collection service via a farm shop, home vegetable delivery service and they also have a stand at St. Georges Market.
I have volunteered at the farm and I have learnt so much from John about growing vegetables and what is involved in growing your own veg. I am so glad somewhere like this exists and it is so close to me which is even better.
If you want to know more about what the farm has to offer and want to know what happens behind the scenes on an Organic Farm then this is the podcast for you.

Stuart Bailie is a Music Journalist, and an old school one at that! He has been the CEO for The Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast, helping musicians move their way up and get the recognition they deserve. He was a Broadcast Presenter on the radio for many years across various stations on the BBC. He has recently set up a new publication with his Daughter called : 'Dig it' as well as having written and compiled a book titled: 'Trouble Songs', which takes a look at the music industry and the artists involved in N. Ireland through the decades of The Troubles.
He has written for the likes of NME and has worked with Warner Brother, so this man has been at the fore front of many genres of music for many decades. Let me take you on a journey through Stuarts career and all the wonderful stories he has to share along the way.
Cormac is a song writer, musician, guitar player, music teacher and one of the most amazing singers I have ever heard. (And I have heard a good few singers).
He is well known as the front man in the band 'The Answer'. They have supported and shared the stage with Whitesnake (a-mas-ing!) and ACDC but to name a few. They are high energy and addictive to listen to.
Cormac, more recently released his solo album, Broken Wing. A more intimate and personal refection album.
Join us on a journey through music, song writing and doing what he loves best- creating music for us all to embrace. You won't be disappointed.

I have known Dave for almost 20 years. We go way back! It was great to catch up with him in this podcast as he has a lot of interesting stories to tell. He is one of those people that time flies by with. Every time we meet up, there is always great story exchanges, energy and a bit of craic and banter.
One thing that wasn't discussed in this podcast that has recently come to light is that Dave has indeed been on the BBC this week as he is the ONLY OFFICIAL BAND in the world who are performing together right now. He has recently got together over lockdown with a band (all cover-19 checked and negative) and moved into a private mansion location in England where they have been recording music and basically living the life of Riley.
Daves' day job is playing Bass Guitar mostly in Jools Hollands Rhythm and Blues Orchestra for over 30 years. I have had the pleasure of playing before him and Jools Holland and the rest of his band and I supported their band a few years back on the Irish leg of their UK and Irish tour. It was an amazing experience. One that I will cherish forever.
It was great to catch up with Dave, even if he was at the time, not disclosing his secret location. What a brilliant project- to join with fellow musicians in amidst a pandemic, in secret. Pretty cool. I hope you enjoy this podcast.
