We welcome back three familiar faces from the Class of 1992 — musicians Pat Kiernan, Richard Kehoe, and Keelan Cuniffe — they return to the studio slightly greyer, possibly wiser, and definitely still capable of musical mischief. The episode dives into long-lost lunchtime echoes from the Dan Donovan Theatre, where vintage footage resurfaces of the lads performing as their gloriously overconfident school band, The Buzzin Half Dozen. Expect squeaky chairs, heroic adolescent ambition, and the unmistakable sound of teenagers convinced they’ve already made it.
