The Shannon Springs Hotel will be the place to be tomorrow evening. That's when the late, great Johnny Fean will be remembered in his hometown of Shannon.

The late, great Johnny Fean is to be remembered in his hometown of Shannon in a rather fitting way. On Saturday, the 16th of November the “Johnny Fean Stage” will be officially opened to honour the life of the guitarist with legendary 70's Irish rock outfit, Horslips. The opening promises to be a very special event. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Damian O'Rourke of Cuppa Tea TV and Johnny's brother, Ray Fean. Photo (c): Clare FM

Tiffany Murray joins Ray to share her unique upbringing which saw her in the company of some of the world's biggest rockstars. The Horslips were among them and Jim Lockhart & Barry Devlin from the band pop in for a bit of a reunion with Tiffany.

John Meagher returns to the show to talk about the latest list he's compiled for the Irish Independent: The best Irish songs of all time — ranked: the definitive top 50. He talks about the work involved in putting it together, why there are three songs by Sinéad O'Connor in the top five, but no U2 in the top 10, why the Republic of Ireland team are in there with 'Put 'Em Under Pressure' but not Horslips, and why the Undertones' Teenage Kicks was the obvious polltopper, along with some other talking points about the list. John asked 50 people, including myself, to send in our top 10 and he put it all together - there's a lot of work involved, and no matter your anger or thoughts about the list, fair play to John for the work put into it.

And now for something rather different... we're stepping out of the Changeling canon and into the wonderful world of late 90s/early 00s homebrew with Changeling: the Celtic Cycle. Written by three World of Darkness authors, CtCC radically re-imagines the world of Changeling: no Glamour and Banality, no Dreamers to cultivate, no Dreaming separate from the Umbra. Instead, the fae in this version of the game are directly inspired by Celtic mythology and epic. The supplement was released in three installments as part of a zine, in all its early-days-of-desktop-publishing glory, and is as much an interesting historical artifact for that context as for its contents. But the authors also went on to be involved in Book of Lost of Houses, Dark Ages: Fae, and Changeling: the Lost, with all of which we see a few subtle connections... The text is findable online, but we'll also have it available in our Discord (link below!). Some other links include: A few homebrew books by Pooka that poke at a couple of these themes are mentioned in this episode, which you can snag at https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/381967?affiliate_id=3063731, https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/418295?affiliate_id=3063731, or https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/412055?affiliate_id=3063731. While the links provided in the notes at the end of the supplement are mostly defunct or broken, a couple of them have stood the test of time... we would point you in particular to https://pantheon.org/, the Encyclopedia Mythica (a one-stop source for many a folkloric tidbit before Wikipedia was a thing), and https://www.luminarium.org/mythology/ireland/, a hefty collection of Irish myth in particular.

Last night U2 hit the stage in Las Vegas with audiences buzzing after the first of their gigs in the Sphere. One man who has known U2 since their first demo is Barry Devlin from Horslips - he joins Anton to discuss.

It's back and better than ever! Ok, well, it's back, at least. And on today's show: How to build and paddle your own canoe; What to do if you're set upon by a water-hound; And 50 years of Horslips' début album, The Táin.

This is a special bonus episode of the podcast. Back in 2017 Niall McCormack and Dr Ciarán Swan curated the Green Sleeves exhibition in the National Print Museum. “This exhibition examines the Irish-printed album cover. Included album covers were all designed or printed in Ireland. The work was completed for Irish groups, who worked at home or abroad, as well as albums from abroad referencing Ireland or Irishness. The collection dates from the late 1950s to the present day, and covers a wide range of musical and non-musical genres.” Niall and Ciarán joined me for Episode 675 of my radio show Songs To Learn And Sing for a wide-ranging chat about printing in Dublin, the evolution of design, the Showbands, Country & Irish, the Dutch graphic designers who came to Ireland in the post-war era, Irish Punk, Indie releases in the 80s, Celtic design, designers Diana O'Donnell, Steve Averill and Jim Fitzpatrick, contemporary design and much more. We discussed the design of loads of albums that were featured in their exhibition – albums by Clannad, Thin Lizzy, Horslips, The Stars of Heaven, Microdisney, Gavin Friday, Donnacha Costello and loads of others. This interview was originally broadcast on Dublin City FM on 23 August 2017.

Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey's Interview with Pat McManus Part 2Patrick Frances McManus was one of 6 children born into an incredibly talented musical family in Derrylin, Co.Fermangh, N.Ireland. Pat's father, John, and his mother Valerie were highly accomplished Traditional Irish music players, so it wasn't long before Pat and his two brothers, John and Tommy, were picking up all the instruments lying around the house and learning to play. By the age of 7, Pat had already performed on live T.V. and by 14 he was All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. Aged 20, Pat somehow stumbled across a band called Horslips. As Horslips were a Celtic rock band, the 3 brothers could relate to their music and quickly became big fans and later attended so many gigs that they formed a friendship with the guys in the band. The brothers soon swapped their Fiddles, Uilleann Pipes and Bodhrans for electric instruments and formed their first band called – Pulse, with Pat on Guitar, John on Bass & Vocals and Tommy (who was only 12 at the time) on drums. During an interview with Radio Luxembourg , Dj – Tony Prince, who remarked how young they all were, jokingly called them Mamas Boys – the boys changed their name. It was just meant to be an ‘of the cuff' remark but the name stuck and soon the 3 brothers were officially known as Mamas Boys.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Mama's Boys fue una banda de heavy metal de Enniskillen, Condado de Fermanagh, Irlanda Del Norte, formada por tres hermanos llamados McManus: Pat "The Professor" en la guitarra, John en el bajo y voz, y Tommy en la batería. En 1987 se unió a Keith Murrell como cantante principal, reemplazado dos años más tarde por Mike Wilson. Los hermanos McManus, que crecieron en una granja cerca de Derrylin, Condado de Fermanagh, comenzaron su carrera musical debido a su gran pasión por la música tradicional irlandesa y también se inspiraron en la banda irlandesa de rock celta Horslips. La idea nació del hermano menor Tommy que ya tocaba la batería y que iniciará el proyecto con el consentimiento de los hermanos. A finales de los años 70, los tres hermanos se convirtieron en grandes fans de Horslips y participaron en sus conciertos siempre que fue posible. Con el tiempo formaron una amistad con los miembros del grupo. Fue en esta época que los tres fundaron el nuevo grupo inicialmente bajo el nombre Pulse antes de cambiarlo a Mama''s Boys. Barry Devlin de Horslips se enteró de su banda y fue a visitarlos durante sus sesiones. Quedó impresionado por el potencial del trío y se ofreció a apoyar a los Horslips en su gira de 1979. Aunque sus heroes Horslips mezclaron música tradicional con hard rock, siendo los McManus técnicamente superiores, nunca abrazaron los sonidos Celtas, a excepción de algunos solos de violín ocasionales de Pat, sino que recurrieron a la música heavy metal. A partir de 1980 comenzaron a circular algunos bootleg del grupo y también participaron en giras intensivas en Irlanda. En 1981 fueron invitados a apoyar a Hawkwind en su gira por el Reino Unido. En 1982 grabaron su debut autofinanciado, titulado Plug it In. De este fue tomado el hit single en Irlanda "Needle in the Groove" . El segundo álbum Turn It Up fue lanzado en 1983. El mismo año tocaron junto a Thin Lizzy en su gira de despedida y más tarde en el Reading Rock Festival, mientras que poco después firmaron un contrato con Jive Records, sub-sello de Sony. El primer álbum hecho para Jive fue un álbum recopilatorio del mismo nombre que recogía material de los dos primeros discos con la adición de nuevas pistas. Una de las nuevas pistas fue la reinterpretación de Slade "''Mama Weer All Crazee Now" , que fue lanzado como sencillo y alcanzó el número 54 en las listas de Estados Unidos. El video logró un buen patrocinio en MTV y esto ayudó a la banda a darse a conocer en los estados donde estaban de gira en 1984. Curiosamente, la banda estadounidense de heavy metal Quiet Riot había hecho la misma versión de Slade al mismo tiempo, pero la versión de Mama''s Boys obtuvo posiciones más altas en las listas y fue más considerada, aunque Quiet Riot fue mucho más popular en Estados Unidos. En 1985, Power and Passion irrumpió en las listas Billboard Top 100 de los Estados Unidos. Le siguieron exitosas giras por Estados Unidos, Europa y Japón. Durante las fechas europeas Tommy tuvo una recaída de leucemia, una enfermedad que había contraído cuando era niño y fue reemplazado por Jimmy DeGrasso, miembro de Y& T, con motivo de la gira. Una vez hospitalizado, Tommy volvió a recorrer Irlanda, pero pronto experimentó otra recaída y fue llevado de nuevo al hospital. En 1987 el cantante Keith Murrell fue contactado después de que John comenzó a experimentar algunos problemas con sus cuerdas vocales y cambiaron a grabar el nuevo álbum Growing Up The Hard Way. Jive Records contactó a Murrell con la idea de darle un sonido más comercial y melódico al grupo, y dejar de lado los sonidos crudos en favor de líneas musicales cercanas al AOR. Sin embargo, el sello fue rechazado por el grupo y como resultado el contrato con Jive, que terminó ese año, no fue renovado, y Keith Murrell abandonó el proyecto. En 1989 con el nuevo cantante Mike Wilson, y bajo nueva dirección, se trasladaron al Reino Unido. Lanzaron el álbum en vivo Live Tonite en 1991 y giraron por Europa. Lanzaron el álbum Relativity en 1992. Durante una gira por Italia en 1993, Tommy tuvo problemas de nuevo y las fechas fueron canceladas. Al año siguiente Tommy se sometió a un trasplante de médula ósea, pero durante la operación fracasó. Los hermanos quedaron devastados por la noticia y decidieron disolver a los niños Mamas. En el primer aniversario de la muerte de Tommy, John compuso una canción tradicional con el silbato para su hermano y esto lo llevó a él y a su hermano Pat a revisitar sus raíces irlandesas y fundaron un nuevo proyecto de música celta / new Age llamado Celtus. En 2003, Pat McManus se unió a la banda de rock irlandesa Indian y continúa trabajando con el grupo. John McManus está actualmente involucrado en el reformado Fastway dirigido por el ex guitarrista de Motörhead "Fast" Eddie Clarke.

Emm Gryner talking about her life in music, working with David Bowie, collaborating with astronaut Chris Hadfield on a cover version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" with David Bowie. Gryner started her music career in Toronto, working office jobs during the day while honing her live show in small, local clubs by night. Gryner entered her original song "Wisdom Bus" in a nationwide songwriting contest sponsored by Standard Broadcasting, and won. With the money from this prize, she recorded an album called The Original Leap Year and released it on her own Dead Daisy Records. The album attracted the attention of Violent Femmes producer, Warren Bruleigh. Bruleigh passed the album onto an exec at Mercury Records who signed Gryner. The result was Public, a Britpop-inspired album that yielded a hit in Canada called "Summerlong." Several tours followed, with Ron Sexsmith, Bernard Butler, Rufus Wainwright and others. After Universal Music took over Mercury Records, Gryner was dropped from the label and returned to her own Dead Daisy Records. She released several albums, two of which went on to be nominated for Best Pop Album of the Year at the Juno Awards. During this time, Gryner moved to New Paltz, NY and Los Angeles to write and tour. She also took a job singing and playing keyboards in David Bowie’s band.[8] The gig saw Gryner performing with Bowie at Glastonbury Festival, on Later with Jools Holland and other venues around America and Europe. She appears on Bowie at the Beeb, a live album. After leaving Bowie’s band, Gryner moved to Montreal and released an album called Songs of Love and Death which was made up of cover versions of Irish songs by The Undertones, The Virgin Prunes, Horslips, Thin Lizzy, The Thrills and others. Recorded in a house she shared with Kate McGarrigle, the album attracted the attention of Irish media. Gryner found a champion in Pat Egan, a legendary promoter and manager based in Dublin, and he set up her first shows. In 2005, Gryner signed Atlantic Canadian indie band In-Flight Safety. The band went on to receive national acclaim, capture several awards and receive a Juno nomination for Best Video of the Year in 2007. Gryner subsequently signed Toronto songwriter Royal Wood and released his album, A Good Enough Day through Dead Daisy. In 2006, Gryner released The Summer of High Hopes produced by Nathan Larson. The album was released in Canada and later in Ireland on the heels of a performance at Oxegen Festival.
