This week, Ireland and the world is in mourning following the tragic passing of Sinéad O'Connor. 

A truly singular artist and a generational talent, she broke barriers as both musician and activist. Her passing at the age of 56 is devastating, and it really does feel like we've lost something, and indeed someone, of tremendous value and substance.

On this episode of NO ENCORE, Dave Hanratty is joined by music journalist and musicologist Andrea Cleary, Virgin Media News Correspondent Richard Chambers, and Julie Hough of HAVVK and Pixie Cut Rhythm Orchestra; all of whom offer their individual reflection and perspective, and what Sinéad O'Connor means to them. 

Rest in power, and rest in peace, Sinéad.
