Show Notes
Trevor has got it all figured out. He lives amongst nature, with the sounds and sights of cuckoos, owls and red squirrels from his own living room. He’s spent his life volunteering, sometimes doing 15 festivals in a year, all so that he could find the most perfect route for his life. It led him to Leitrim, conserving native woodlands.

Akash moved here from Bangalore 10 years ago and in that time, trad music has changed his whole life. Akash got his Audio Technology masters degree in Maynooth College to pair with his degree in Computer Science. When he graduated, he had a choice, stay in Dublin and face Dublin rents, or move anywhere else. He chose to move to Leitrim!
Imelda may not have won the Great British Bake Off when she was there in 2018, but I can unequivocally say she makes the best vegan apple tarts known to man. Imelda is passionate about food, and more precisely, Irish food. She wants us to return to a time where you knew the butcher and the fish monger by name. When the apples in the supermarket came from the orchard down the road, and not South Africa. She wants us to be proud of what we produce here and rescue all the hand written, Irish recipes that are in danger of being forgotten. She showcases old recipes on her online platforms, in the hopes of spreading the love of Irish food throughout the world, but also at home!
What Brian (and his co-directors) have done in Sligo is pretty amazing. Back in his teens, he recognised a need for an arts space in the town. Somewhere young people could hang out, collaborate and make great art. Somewhere that wasn’t centred around alcohol. After a lot of research, site visits and funding applications, The Nest was born. It’s a multi-purpose space that hosts band rehearsals, pole classes, repair shops and soon a cafe.
Death has been the uninvited guest in Joe and Mary’s beautiful home for the past 15 years. Twice in his life, his family were told to say their ‘goodbyes’. They made funeral plans, shared the passwords, got all the affairs in order. His doctors have thankfully pulled him back from the brink on both occasions.
I’ve known Tuesday since we worked together in a record store when we were very young. My memories are hazy at best, we were a wild pair who egged each other on and partied a lot. Then, like so many people our age, she flitted off to Australia in search of better opportunities.
