This is episode 3 of a series of 7. This episode is a look at the theory that maybe songwriting is a response to the mating call instinct. Looking deep into the well of their craft, the particpating songwriters speak with love about their love, their love for love AND their love for songs about love. It really is lovely. The accompanying songs are: Danny Darcy - "Saved" Kim Hayden - "Keep You" Jem Mitchell - "Silver Dagger" Dan Elliott - "Maybe We" Aoife Leigh - "Jamie" Declan O'Rourke - "The You Know" www.ispod.ie

This is ISPod Mini, a short episode focusing on the music and thoughts of one individual writer from the many who partcipated in the Irish Songwriter Podcast. Originally from Ballyfermot in Dublin, Declan O'Rourke now lives on the west coast of Ireand. He is frequently namechecked in the talk of 'influences' by the Irish Songwriters I've spoken to and is both critcially and internationally acclaimed. He has recently released a new album, “The Chronicles Of The Great Irish Famine”, a collection of stories untold about a dark part of Irish, and one would have to add British, History. It's a project that required 16 years to complete and on the very cusp of it's release, Declan took the time to talk to me from his tour in Cincinnati, Ohio. We spoke about the new album, his thoughts about art, harmony and love and also that feeling of interregnum, a lull in energy on the completion of a creative project. www.declanorourke.com

In this first chapter, "In The Beginning", we talk about the whys and hows of how each songwriter got started at the craft of songwriting. Through their different experiences, the story starts to form and we get an idea of the foundation of their passion. What drew them to songs? What made them want to write a song, then another and then to performing their work? Sometimes funny, sometimes touching, always eloquent and insightful, the Irish Songwriters Podcast invites the writers to share their story so that the listener can better understand the spark of inspiration that started the fire of passion and dedication to the art of storytelling through music. The songs on today's podcast are: "In You Come" - Roesy & Declan O'Rourke "Better" - Sinead White "Runaway Train" - Colm Lynch "The Lucky Ones" - Jezzebelle "Letting Go" - Fiach "Little Bird, Sing" - Grainne Hunt
