Podcasts about Eddi Reader

We first saw Eddi Reader singing with the Gang Of Four on Whistle Test in 1982. This eventful pod traces her story from seven kids in a two-bedroom council flat (“me in the toilet with a guitar singing Your Cheating Heart”), to the Scottish folk clubs, busking with circus acrobats on the Left Bank, to radio jingles, life as a backing singer and the rapid rise of Fairground Attraction who reformed last year, 34 years after they split in 1990. It's highly entertaining from the kick-off, not least …. … snogging the Earl of Moray's son during Dylan at Blackbushe. … the jingles she sang on ‘80s radio ads. … what she learnt from Annie Lennox when touring with Eurythmics. … backing singer stage-wear etiquette. … performing Love Me Tender aged eight in the school classroom. … singing Three Drunken Maidens and Lord Franklin at the Irvine Folk Club, over the road from Amanda's Wet T-Shirt Night. … busking in Paris and the songs that pulled the most money (eg Tupelo Honey and All Along the Watchtower). … “men you put on the shoulder-pads for.” … what Billy Bragg called “a civilian”. … Chou Pahrot, Cado Belle, Café Jacques, Stone the Crows and other great lost Scottish bands. … Hamish Imlach's advice about how to project onstage. … how to use a pencil as a pop-shield. … and her Grandad “who loved his wife so much he nearly told her”. Eddi Reader tickets here: https://eddireader.co.uk/gigs/ Fairground Attraction's Beautiful Happening album: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beautiful-Happening-Fairground-Attraction/dp/B0CZ7NMJYV https://eddireader.co.uk/Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Fairground Attraction are back—35 years after their meteoric rise to fame with the double-platinum album The First of a Million Kisses and the timeless hit Perfect. The original line-up has reunited for a 14-date UK tour and a brand-new album, Beautiful Happening, set for release on September 27th.The band's return has already delivered two new singles: the reflective and powerful title track, and the buoyant, hook-filled Learning To Swim, a track that captures the classic Fairground Attraction sound—effortless pop melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and Eddi Reader's unmistakable voice, richer and more resonant than ever.Learning To Swim sees the band exploring themes of courage and change with a wiser, older perspective, inspired by songwriter Mark Nevin's own experience as a father. The new music marks a rebirth for the band, who reconnected after decades apart and discovered that the chemistry they once had was still very much alive.Fairground Attraction's original run may have been brief, but it left a lasting impact. Now, after years of silence and separate journeys, they've found their way back to each other—and to the music that made them unique.

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of The Bible in just under fifteen minutes.The band released two critically acclaimed albums in the mid-1980s and are best known for the hits 'Graceland' and 'Mahalia'. Since The Bible's first split in 1990, lead singer Boo Hewerdine has maintained a solo career while the band itself has been intermittently active, performing a 30th Anniversary concert (originally scheduled for 2016) in 2017 at Under the Bridge in Fulham.Hewerdine collaborated over several years with Eddi Reader, as producer, songwriter and guitarist in her band. His song "Patience of Angels", originally written for The Bible, was recorded by Reader for her self-titled 1994 album. His other production work includes albums with The Corrs, Heidi Talbot, and Laurie Freelove. Hewerdine is considered one of the UK's finest singer-songwriters.I hope you enjoy the podcast and do leave feedback if you like what you have heard.Mathew Woodall

Twenty years of interviewing fabulous musicians is no mean feat and I thought it deserved some kind of celebration, or at least to be marked in history for posterity. So, I've recorded Cat O'nine Tales; nine special episodes of CATtales to look back on those early encounters where the recordings of the interviews no longer survive and the details only remain in written form. After introducing my guest, I'll give you a link address to read the interview and play some of their key hits for you to listen to whilst you enjoy it.  Thank you to you the listeners and my fabulous guests for your support over the years, I hope you enjoy these special 9 Tales. Tale 9: Scottish singer-songwriter Eddi Reader has three BRIT Awards to her name, fronted punk outfit Gang of Four, harmonized with Annie Lennox touring with the Eurythmics, and topped the UK charts with Fairground Attraction. But when I caught up with her at Cambridge Folk Festival she revealed a bit of her more private side as she reminiscing about getting old, Cambridge men and travelled around Europe with a circus! This tale dates back to 29 August 2006, visit CATtales.co.uk/122 for the one with Eddi Reader and sit back and enjoy these tunes.

Margins to Mainstream with Michael Sheen spotlights 11 new writers from under-represented backgrounds on a journey to reveal truths from the margins of society. In episode five, Michael introduces Jacqueline Houston, a new working class writer from Glasgow who starting writing as her 50th birthday loomed. Her Facebook posts, off-kilter updates on growing older with all guns blazing soon turned into offline autobiographical writing. Fairground Attraction singer Eddi Reader performs Jacqueline's piece about running through the Partick streets - This is almost Fifty- in front of a live audience at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. We also hear from Jacqueline's mentor Sophie McBain of the New Statesman as she uncovers an intriguing story from her family's past. The episode contains some very strong language which some people may find offensive.

Margins to Mainstream with Michael Sheen spotlights 11 new writers from under-represented backgrounds on a journey to reveal truths from the margins of society. In episode three, we meet Tom Newlands, a writer from Scotland now based in London. Tom's mentor, The Damned United and Red Riding trilogy author David Peace, tells how a word processor rescued from the Tokyo trash kickstarted a career which has seen him become one of Britain's greatest novelists of the 21st century. Eddi Reader, better known as singer with Fairground Attraction, performs Tom's work in front of a live audience at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

Ahead of her Irish dates Eddi Reader was in studio with Marty.

Eddi Reader is considered to be one of Scotland's all-time greatest female voices and performers. Formerly the lead singer of Fairground Attraction, this year sees her celebrate her 40th year on stage with a “40 Years Live” concert tour which is set to tour across Ireland this month. Eddi joins Miriam to discuss.

One of the most beautiful voices in Scotland, Eddi Reader joined Ray from a studio in Glasgow for a chat.

On todays show Ray is joined by Clodagh O'Hagan who is raffling off her pink piano to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, Dr?David Robert Grimes is in studio to talk about vaccine hesitancy and resistance and Ray catches up with Eddi Reader from a studio in Glasgow.

It's got to be perfect, sang Eddi Reader, the lead singer of Fairground Attraction. And, in today's material world of social media and personal brand building, it's easy to assume that if you're not perfect in all areas of your life, then you're somehow falling short. As we digest yet another personal development craze, try to keep up with the latest diet craze, fitness craze, fashion craze, or technology craze, this push for perfection can even send us the other way. Throwing our hands up in defeat before we've even begun to try, instead finding solace in all the things we're supposed to be avoiding. So how do we know when the striving to become better, slimmer, wealthier, happier, is actually becoming an obstacle to our progress, forcing us, not to thrive, but to become stuck? Perfectionism, the constant seeking to be better, to achieve more, to fulfil our potential, can actually prevent us from doing exactly that. It can lead to a fear of failure, a fear of not achieving what we set out to achieve and, rather than excelling, crashing and burning instead. And this fear can leave us paralysed, unable to move at all. In this episode of the podcast we speak with Dr Patricia Zurita Ona – affectionately known as DrZ. She specialises in acceptance and commitment therapy for high achievers and over thinkers, helping them become unstuck from worries, fears, anxieties, obsessions, perfectionism, procrastination, and ineffective playing-it-safe strategies. We talk about how success can easily lead to shame, how high performance can lead to emotional paralysis, and how fear of failure can lead us to take the easier option, even when we are capable of much much more.

W/C 26th April 2021 There is still a great big musical gap left behind by Kirsty MacColl, we lost her far too young. I had always been aware of her, but it was only when the album Tropical Brainstorm was released in 2000 that I really began to 'get it'. Blessed with a gift for songwriting and a take on the world that seemed quirky at first glance, but on closer inspection resonated with openness and candour. Bizarrely it's a story about Crocs that brought me here, I was looking for a song that referenced feet or shoes or walking and I remembered 'in these shoes'. Of course that set me off, and forty minutes later I am still listening to clips of Kirstys songs on Youtube. Which means I need to include another one of my favourites, penned by KM and delivered exquisitely by Eddi Reader at a celebration for Kirsty from 2010 Stay Safe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIWErJshs9M (Dear John - Eddi Reader) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DbjPkVf82M (In These Shoes - Kirsty MacColl) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-56918624 (Marsden Moor Fire) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56901386 (Crocs Comeback) https://www.instagram.com/ashortstories (Instagram) https://www.twitter.com/ashortstories (Twitter) https://www.facebook.com/ashortstoriespodcast/ (Facebook) Support this podcast

This week, we’re joined by one of Scotland’s most creative musicians, Eddi Reader; a writer and singer whose range spans traditional Scottish poetry to a memorable number one hit with Fairground Attraction. From family sing songs in the back of the car to getting lost in the backstreets of Tokyo, Eddi shares journeys that feature as some of her most memorable adventures.   Created and Presented by Nick Evans Music and Audio Production by Benjamin Holder Produced by Scratch Post Productions

Órla Sweeney is In The Lamplight! Hear all about Órla's amazing life starting from when she was a newborn baby and her dad placed her next to a record player for a musical christening by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin. As a child, Órla attended more gigs than most people will in their entire lifetime, accompanying her dad, Oliver, who worked as a journalist for the music magazine Hot Press.As a child, Órla had the opportunity to meet many renowned musicians and artists. As a teenager, while Órla's peers were going to popular club nights in Dublin, Órla often found herself at a traditional music session in Whelans or a folk gig in Vicar Street. The songs of Richard Thompson have remained lifelong favourites of Órla's. We get a listen to Órla performing his classic "The Dimming of the Day" alongside former In The Lamplight guest, Seamie O'Dowd.In her early twenties, Órla recorded and released an album of original material co-written with her father. The opportunity arose out of a recording session for a separate project on which Órla was providing backing vocals and the resulting album led to her being signed to the Warner Bros. record label and she completed several successful tours and performed as support for some of the all-time greats of Irish music.After listening to a track called "Donegal Rain" from her debut album "The Blue Note", Órla opens up on whether her exposure to the music industry and music journalism as a child gave her a heightened awareness of any criticism she received as a performer. Órla gives a very honest insight into her struggles with confidence when it comes to performing in front of an audience.Aside from her career as a performer, Órla has been involved in many behind-the-scenes musical projects, chief among which is her involvement with the phenomenally successful "Ceol" album series in which popular artists record Irish-language versions of their hit songs.Órla produced several albums in the series in the mid-to-late noughties working with artists such as Des Bishop, The Coronas and Eddi Reader. Her work with Reader on a Gaeilge version of the Fairground Attraction hit "Perfect" led to them forming a lasting friendship. Órla performed a song written by Eddi's husband and sung regularly by Eddi - "Wild Mountainside" as part of Kieran's "Not A Theme Night" and we take a listen to that performance here.Rory asks Órla about the emotion she brings to her perfomances, something evident to anyone who saw her perform in the recent "Not A Theme Night" show. Following up with a tough question, Luke asks Órla about the special pair of headphones she's wearing for the interview.The three lads wrap up by reflection on their chat with Órla and reveal some plans for next week's episode which will be released on Saint Patrick's Day.

Conversation about music, art, passion, optimism, creativity, spirituality, coming home & so much more.

We also love the soundtrack for Batman Forever, so join us as we dive into it!

Noel catches up with Boo Hewerdine. The singer-songwriter was the lead singer and songwriter of the band, The Bible. Some of their hits included "Graceland", "Honey Be Good" and "Crystal Palace."

Holly Lerski talking about her life in music Holly Lerski formed Angelou with guitarist Jo Baker in 1996. They recorded their first demo in the winter of that year, which included a cover of the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah". Inspired by Jeff Buckley's version, Lerski had been a fan of Buckley's, corresponding with the artist. Local Norwich label Haven Records heard the demo and signed Angelou in the beginning of 1997, scheduling the release of the Hallelujah EP to coincide with a UK summer tour supporting Eddi Reader and Boo Hewerdine. 'Hallelujah' came out a week after Jeff Buckley's untimely death, ending the year on novelist Nick Hornby's 'Best of 97' compilation. In 1998 Angelou released their first album 'Automiracles'. Now including drummer Phil Di Palma, the album was written by Lerski, and recorded in 10 days by producer Calum MacColl. The album featured guest vocals from Eddi Reader and Boo Hewerdine and received comparisons to The Sundays' debut 'Reading, Writing and Arithmetic'. Their second album 'While You Were Sleeping', released in 2000, received further acclaim and established Lerski as one of the new crop of up and coming female folk artists. Written and produced by Lerski, and recorded in studio down-time, the album finished with a moving tribute to Jeff Buckley. Lerski went on to contribute this to the Buckley documentary 'Amazing Grace'. In 2001 Spanish label El Diablo released an Angelou compilation called Midnight Witcheries. Now joined by new drummer Cath Evans and bassist Anne Richardson, this record allowed the band to be heard for the first time throughout Europe. They completed 2 extensive tours of Spain, appearing on national TV and radio. They also went on to release a further EP and 2 videos. On hearing of their success abroad, UK music independent giant Sanctuary Records offered Lerski a recording and publishing agreement and at the end of 2001 Lerski finally signed a major deal. Angelou were soon off on the road again, this time as a duo touring Scandinavia and Europe with blues legend John Hiatt & The Goners. On their return from Europe the band went into rehearsals for the third album, staying in a wooden hunting lodge in Derbyshire. Recorded both in Denmark and Manchester throughout 2002, 'Life Is Beautiful' was a much poppier record. It was finally released in 2003 under Lerski's own name. With the launch of the album came lives dates with The Cranberries, Jason Mraz and Josh Rouse, and support from BBC Radio 2 and most notably Wake Up To Wogan producer Paul Walters. There was also news that Lerski's song 'My Love' would be featured in a Hollywood film. It looked like the bands hard work had finally paid off, however it was not to be. In 2004 after disagreements with Sanctuary over lack of promotion for the record, Lerski was forced to leave the label and her songs behind. In the summer of 2004, tired of the music industry and following a break up, Lerski relocated to Manchester where she began to write new material with the intention of releasing on her own imprint Laundry Label. 'Greetings From N.Y.' was Laundry's first release. Featuring on the cover a hand written postcard to Lerski from Jeff Buckley, 'Greetings' was a 'best of' CD showcasing Lerski and the band's music to date. BBC Radio 2's Wake Up To Wogan once again championed the record and 'More Than A Storm' featured weekly on his show. Starbucks at the time was also featuring tracks from 'Life Is Beautiful' on their in-store compilation. By 2006, following the news that Sanctuary had been bought out by Universal Music Group, Lerski returned to Norwich to begin a new chapter.

Bernard Butler is a musician and record producer, known to lots of us as the guitarist with Suede, before that all went a bit wonky. Others might know the song 'Yes', by McAlmont and Butler, as one that became something of an anthem around the time of the marriage referendum earlier this year. Aside from that he's played and/or produced with the likes of Duffy, The Libertines, Roy Orbison, Eddi Reader and loads more. He was in Dublin a few weeks back as part of a McAlmont & Butler tour and he was very kind to get off the ferry and give me some of his pre-sound check time on the day of the gig in Vicar Street. We had a chat about his Irish roots, changing his musical instrument from violin to guitar, gigging with Suede, creative friction, his work as a producer from his studio overlooking Emirates Stadium and loads more. You can follow Bernard on Twitter @Bernard_Butler or visit his official website for all your Bernard Butler needs.

This week Roisin meets the legendary Eddi Reader and discusses singing, music careers and change.

Scotland is the midst of a constitutional debate and our near neighbours seem to have no opinions, according to Lesley in Newsnet Scotland. We discuss some of the reasons. One of the ideas to enliven the debate was a TV Debate. If David Cameron won’t face Alex Salmond for a variety of reasons, are there better choices? How about lining up celebrities? Eddi Reader, Eddie Izzard, Kevin Bridges, Jim Davidson, Brian Cox and George Galloway are the names in the frame. We also touch on a great piece by Pat Kane  in the excellent Bella Caledonia ( as ever ) and discover a new leftish movement out there; Mair nor a rock wind. 

This week’s @lesleyriddoch podcast; ‘Scotland’s Future’ – the White Paper gets released, childcare gets discussed or not, and there’s a lot of television about. There are mentions of Alan Little’s excellent ‘Our Friends in the North’, Scotland Tonight’s use of ‘heng oots’, the riveting spectacle of Eddi Reader on Question Time and that debate between   Nicola and Alistair . And Chris explains what it is like to meet the Ice Queen, Irene Macdougall of Dundee Rep who is in this year’s Christmas show, “The Big Friendly Giant”. (And thanks to Chris Cook for the inspirational title of this week’s Pod )

What would happen if you put 8 songwriters into a house for five days? Well, there was only one way to find out... In November 2005, Burnsong invited 8 writers from the worlds of jazz, pop, rock, folk and traditional music to write together in a Georgian Mansion deep in the heart of the Dumfries and Galloway Countryside. Boo Hewerdine, David Scott, Niki King, Emily Smith, Geoff Martyn, Marc Pilley, Riley Briggs and Sophie Bancroft picked up the gauntlet but with some trepidation – Who were these other people? Will I be able to write with a total stranger? Will there be prima donnas, divas and tantrums? If I get writers block will they cast me out? Where on earth is this place anyway? It took less then a few hours for these fears to dispel and to be replaced by a magical mix of music, writing, creativity and laughter. Just 5 days later the Burnsong 8 took the stage for the first time to perform the astonishing 24 songs they had written in those few days. And what songs they were – moving, haunting, beautiful, soulful, sad, laugh out loud funny and even, at times, a little disco. Their performances during Burnsong –Live! proved what amazing things can be done when you give people the space and the freedom to experiment and create. It seemed that our experiment had worked, these 8 writers had come together and in such a short time created something truly special and unique, a true reflection of the real talent, imagination and passion for great music that exists in our country today. But it was not to end there, and with the support of Tune-Up the Burnsong Song House writers are going out on the road, bringing their songs and their stories to audiences around Scotland.
