This was originally a radio show, and it became one of my first podcasts in 2020. Time for a repost, of this revealing encounter with the man who has since become President of Ireland.

The rapport I had with Nanci, apparent in this 1993 interview, led to her asking me in 1998 to co-write her book Nanci Griffith's Other Voices. I'm told, from Texas, there is a resurgence of interest in her work. That thought delights me. I dedicate this podcast to anyone discovering Nanci!

Joan was a joy to interview, and even meet. Her story is hugely inspiring for those of us who sometimes yield to dark feelings
-
I am posting this again because I have learned that I was one of the few journalists to ask Neil about his ties to the Mob, who backed, he says, the Bang record label - with its logo, a smoking gun!!!

Dory Previn said to me in 1986, "I hope that someday you write about my songs and life the kind of
psychosexual study you did of Sinatra's work." We made tapes, starting that year, and recorded up to 2000, with this in mind or me writing a one-woman show about her. Now, my hopes are set more on me and someone who is equally passionate about Dory, making a film.
Here she talks about the background of her songs Theme from Valley of the Dolls, Leomon Haired Ladies and Beware of Young Girlks. The latter two were directed at Mia Farrow.

This clip was recorded backstage in Madison Square Garden at a Bob Dylan/Joni Mitchell gig, and the sound is not great. Be warned!
But it is a historic clip, of Joni chatting about the song she wrote, The Magdalene Laundries, that was soon to be released on a Chieftains album, Tears of Stone.
And it will give you a flavour of being backstage

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!
-
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
-
Amazing slice of film history, the iconic Dennis Hopper and me talking about Dean

Cute memories of my homeland, from Mick Fleetwood. An excerpt from a much longer Irish Times interview
-
It's been nearly thirty years since I first interviewed Andrea Corr; I see they are back on tour. Here's a slice of Corr's history for their fans

This was a great moment for me. After Mike Love, a sometimes tediously arrogant person, said we Irish wouldn't understand something as intangible as Transcendental Meditation, I responded, 'You mean the race that gave the world James Joyce?" He didn't like the interview, but what the hell? I still love the music of The Beach Boys
