The Turf Shed Podcast

This week on the Turf Shed Podcast we had the honour and privilege of chatting to Niamh and Podge of Ham Sandwich. From start to finish this episode can be summed up in one word… craic.

 

The stories and anecdotes of the bands time together (and what Podge got up to) are sure to give you the opportunity to understand why they are one of Ireland’s best loved bands.

In today's episode of the Turf Shed Podcast Dylan and Evan talk to producer Philip Magee. Working with some of the biggest names in the music industry such as Gavin James, Kodaline, The Script and so on, Philip brings us on a journey through his life and role as a music producer.

Michael Barkley and founder of Barkley Microphones joins us on this weeks podcast. Michael takes us through the process of his craft and so elegantly describes why his infinity ribbon microphone is so special from all the rest. His microphones are a thing of beauty and from listening to Michael you get to understand the passion he has for what he does and how much goes in to each piece. If you're into microphones and music gear then you'll really enjoy this one!

This week on the Turf Shed Podcast we are joined by the wonderful Lea Heart. Lea sits down with us and details her meteoric rise from sitting in her bedroom making TikToks to being signed by Warner Music and hitting the national airwaves with two hugely successful singles all in the last 12 months. An amazing story that has to be heard.

We are delighted that for this weeks podcast, we had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting to the amazingly talented Sarah Lynch and Rory Doyle. We chat to Sarah and Rory about their life in music and the journey it has taken them on. The duo have played alongside a long list of household names and have criss-crossed the globe in the process. Two totally unassuming individuals but once you scratch the surface, you get a real feeling for the talent they hold and why they are both so highly regarded in their respective fields.

What better way to kick off Season 2 of the Turf Shed Podcast than with local producer Dave Skelton. Dave is one of those individuals that just loves what he does. You really feel from listening to him talk that helping others create something special is his passion. A lot of the tracks Dave has produced have gone on to receive regular airplay on national radio, and by the end of this episode we think you’ll understand why.

Join us for a recap of Season 1 and a look back on how it all started with best friends and podcasters Dylan James Connolly & Evan Barrows. Your host for tonight, Technical Guru, Dillon Brady. 

 

Hope you enjoy.

Join us this week as we sit down and talk to Robin Ball. Robin is a recording engineer, mixer, producer, videographer and digital marketer. Having worked with some of the biggest names across the music industry, Robin gives us his insights and perspective on the music and recording industry.

From touring with U2 to sitting behind the desk recording some of Ireland’s best known acts, Robin is a wealth of knowledge. This episode is a must listen for anyone with an interest in the music production world.

For a man that wasn’t really pushed about playing an instrument when he was younger, Eimhin Cradock has cemented himself as one of the go to guys when the word “drums” is mentioned. From gigging the Galway circuit, getting on board with The Latchikos, Noelie McDonnell, The Saw Doctors and setting up Drumadore, Eimhin has the experience and knowledge that some musicians could only dream of. A great guy and a character like no other. Enjoy!

Getting to sit down and chat with a local legend was not just an honour, it was a privilege. Leo Moran talks us through finding the music that peaked his interests as a teen and then finding lads playing that music in Tuam, one of them being Davy Carton. The rest is history as they say.

From The West's Awake to the gigs played in the pubs of the United States, Leo lifts the lid on the life of a gigging musician in one of Ireland’s long loved bands The Saw Doctors. Enjoy!
