I caught up with Traditional and Folk Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter Tim O'Shea.

Tim hails from the beautiful county of Kerry in the South-West of Ireland which is where I grew up. He is a fantastic player and singer who brings authentic emotive performance to his shows and his releases. He works his arse off the stay afloat in an ever-changing game and operates with a stellar professional attitude. We chat about his families roots in music, his work ethic, his touring life and discuss the roots of traditional music in Ireland. This is a highly engaging and revealing chat which has a lot to offer anyone considering this path in life.

I sat down with singer/songwriter and close personal friend Gitta de Ridder who hails from the Dutch Newlands of Flevoland.

Over the years I have written, toured and produced many a song with Gitta but we have never sat down to discuss the birthing of her unique voice. She tells her story over a chorus of birdsong from her old school Mercedes Bus/home which is now parked up in Holland after a trip around Europe having returned from a van-life experience to make a record on the road.

I sat down with actor, mindset coach, fitness coach, vlogger, movement artist & father of 2, Phil Hulford to chat about creative flow and consistency.

Tapping the flow with my good friend, singer/songwriter Damien Flynn just after he had returned from a Vipassana retreat. We broke his silence with an informal chat about the benefits of such a meditative recline as well as discussing musical pursuits in general. Plenty of tea was drank too - and discussed with huge reverence! Thank you so much for listening. Please feel free to leave comments on soundcloud or hit me up on instagram.com/stephenwilliamhodd You can listen to Damien's excellent music at damienflynn.bandcamp.com. Damien has yet to release his beautiful BuildUnbuild E.P. (My apologies for getting ahead of myself there :))
