This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast…

This week Arthur kicks things off with a sleepless night after his daughter Blur apparently spent the early hours pointing at an invisible presence in her bedroom… Did she see a ghost? Is Blu psychic??? Cue talk of vortexes, white witches, and energy clearing. 

The pair then relive the highs of their first live show at Galway Town Hall, complete with the revival of Donal’s iconic silver waistcoat from the Eurosong days, and a surprise dance routine from the audience. 

They round things out with a deep dive into music industry longevity, swapping stories from Duffy, Calvin Harris's pineapple-on-head X Factor stunt, and the secret to staying relevant in pop.
