I previously posted parts of this as podcasts, but after some listeners pointed out that Cillian rarely is as open during interviews, particularly when it comes to his private life and deepest feelings, I decided to post the full exchange. 

I was a fan of Dory Previn, who became her close friend and the person she asked to chronicle her life and songs. We never finished that work, but I have 20 hours of audio and some video and feel duty-bound to spread the word about Dory, one of the most groundbreaking singer-songwriters in rock .

When I was a kid I stole from a local cinema a picture of Elvis and Nancy in Speedway. Interviewing her was a delight. We shared similar views about Elvis. 

Talking with Joan Baez was a total joy for me. I hope fellow fans share this joy. Repost from 2021

I am reposting this becuase it was supposed to be a radio broadcast that was cancelled at the last moment, and never broadcast. Some fans and friends of Sean say it is the best interview he ever gave. 

This is a repost because the subject matter is as relevant today as it was when Tommy and I had this chat. I'm glad to see he is continuing my style of interviewing!

This is a repost from when the song became a hit again. I post it for the Irish diaspora in particular. 

When I was recording this cassette I knew I was capturing on tape contemporary Irish history. Thirty-one years later the tape is even more significant historically. 

I had a bit of fun arguing against the universally accepted lie that Doris Day had no sex appeal. I also did a documentary about her and know the real story!

Dunphy wrote the book; he should know. But there is only so much he is unafraid to tell
