Podcast appearances and mentions of John Moloney

John Moloney is from Tulla. He travels to Ennis regularly and knows every nook and cranny of the town. But for a wheelchair user, even the most familiar streets can present unexpected challenges. Last week, Clare FM's Colum McGrath met John and joined him as he navigated the streets, highlighting the barriers that often go unnoticed. From uneven footpaths to badly parked cars, Colum gained a new perspective on the everyday struggles faced by wheelchair users. Picture (c) Gustavo Fring from Pexels via Canva.com

Gary Kiely and John Moloney were two of four cyclists who recently undertook a 400km cycle to raise funds for the Clare To Kabwe, Zambia trip. To find out more about the Clare to Kabwe trip, and the cycle, Alan Morrissey spoke with Gary Kiely, the Owner Manager at Landscape and Leisure ltd, Kfitt Athletic Owner & Co founder of K-Fitt Gym Kilrush and cyclist John Moloney.

A major cycling event making its return to North Clare this year is expected to reveal some of the region's hidden gems. After a five-year hiatus, the Tour de Burren is back on June 22nd and is expected to bring over 2,200 cyclists to Clare's iconic heartland. The event is family-friendly and provides a choice of routes suited to participants at all stages of their cycling journey. John Moloney of the Burren Cycling Club insists "it's not just a cycle; it's an experience".

Tony Blair once reassured a journalist that, even after New Labour's moderate reforms to employment law, Britain would still have “the most restrictive union laws in the western world.” What do those laws consist of, where do they come from, and how can we resist them? Prof. Mustill, Ellie, and Daniel rattle through the chronology. Ellie also bigs up the ongoing election campaign of John Moloney, standing to be re-elected as Assistant General Secretary of her union, PCS. We've mentioned John on a previous episode (https://soundcloud.com/labour-days/rank-and-filism-101-whats-the-bureaucracy-whats-the-rank-and-file), particularly highlighting his pledge to take the same salary he was paid as a rank-and-file worker and donate the rest of his official's salary to the PCS strike fund. Voting for PCS members opens on 9 November and closes on 14 December. Check out John's campaign here: https://john4ags.org/ John is running alongside Marion Lloyd, who is standing for General Secretary: https://twitter.com/Marion4GS Throughout the episode, we refer to the Free Our Unions campaign, which you can check out online at https://freeourunions.org. We also acknowledge that we're recording several days into the latest war in Israel/Palestine, with Israel besieging Gaza following Hamas attacks. It's beyond the scope of our podcast to meaningfully discuss the issues involved, but we wanted to link to workers' organisations active in Palestine and Israel in a spirit of international class solidarity: Democracy and Workers Rights Centre (Palestine): https://dwrc.org/ Ma'an Workers Association (Israel/Palestine): https://wac-maan.org.il/home-eng/ Koah L'Ovdim - Power to Workers (Israel): https://workers.org.il/?lang=en See also the call from Palestinian trade unions for workers' action to block arms shipments to Israel: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RPslgoxPrXNsjTjA4mxnUWtU_KeXctm3 The quote at the top of the show is taken from the Modern Records Centre's Pentonville Voices audio archive: https://warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/archives_online/speakingarchives/pentonville/

This is the last episode of the podcast! We start with comments from Sunburned members reflecting on the impact of press coverage and ensuing exposure on the band. This shifts to general comments about how they've navigated – and oftentimes defied – external expectations. This section closes on the role humor has played in the band. Then we shift to comments and stories shared by friends, collaborators, and fans of Sunburned Hand of the Man, including thoughts from Thurston Moore, Ethan Miller, Neal Campbell, and more! We close out the episode and the podcast with a final thought from each of the band members interviewed for this project.  The “pocket documentary” created by Troels Mads is called Behind a Hill. You can watch the section focused on Sunburned here. The full documentary is here and features chapters devoted to the wider Western Mass music scene, including Dredd Foole, MV&EE, JowJow (also feat. Shannon Ketch), Tarp (feat. Conrad Capistran), Feathers, Asa Irons, and Big Blood. This is the the Dredd Foole Archival Series Kris Prince is working on for Corbett Vs. Dempsey (promo film here). Here's a short video of the dynamite action described by Ethan Miller. For some modern content, here's a recent interview with Rob Thomas over at Primitive Man Soundz. And for more John Moloney, you can check out his conversation with Lou & Adelle Barlow on second episode of the Raw Impressions podcast.  We hope to add a couple of bonus episodes down the road, so be sure to subscribe for updates.

This episode is about how Sunburned Hand of the Man makes their free-form music. Through the episode, we consider the semantics of improvisation and practice in the context of this free form entity. In that context, we learn how the open nature of the band manifests in unspoken rules of not telling each other what to do. This, in turn, allows the band members to enter and commit to the jam in a way that is more authentically connected and elevated. While each player is actively doing their own thing, they are listening intently to the others, and the resulting ebb and flow of the group results in something greater than the individual parts. We hear how this creative practice of listening and responding has resulted in Sunburned's oddly consistent and unique sound. Finally, we close this episode by tuning in closely to consider the impact of founders Rob Thomas and John Moloney on the band. After listening to this episode, we recommend going back to some of the live shows linked in the previous show notes. It could be interesting to re-watch the band's playing while keeping in mind everything we now know about their creative practice.  Check out Sunburned Hand of the Man's Instagram profile for more pictures related to this episode!

Esta semana, en el último capítulo de la temporada 2022 de Rebelión Sónica, escucharemos el álbum más reciente del importante guitarrista estadounidense, Bill Orcutt, “Music For Four Guitars”. Lanzado por el sello Palilalia Records 02 de septiembre, el LP fue grabado a mediados de 2021 en la sala The Living Room de San Francisco, California, como lo dice su título, con Orcutt interpretando cuatro guitarras. Según la disquera, “en una trayectoria llena de cambios, “Music for Four Guitars” empalma las innovaciones formales de la música basada en el software del hiperimpulsor Fender, que revienta los lóbulos de sus entrenamientos más frenéticos con los bateristas Chris Corsano o Adris Hoyos. Y aunque el tono de la guitarra aquí es decididamente agudo, o, como dice Orcutt, "una pastilla de puente en lugar de un disco de pastilla de cuello", todavía cruza las mismas corrientes melódicas que sus LP’s anteriores (sin embargo, como nos enseñó Heráclito, esa corriente es completamente diferente la segunda vez)”. Más adelante, el texto señala que “aparentemente filtrándose desde 2015 como una partitura vagamente concebida para un cuarteto de guitarras real, “Music for Four Guitars” es la culminación de años de rumiar sobre música clásica, miniaturas de Magic Band y (quizás) The League of Crafty Guitarists, aunque cuando Steve Reich se arroja en el brebaje es una incógnita”. Palilalia agrega que “la forma del álbum es sorprendentemente minimalista: cuatro guitarras, cada una asignada a una melodía parlante en contrapunto, repetidas en celdas a lo largo de la pista, entrando y saliendo selectivamente de la mezcla para construir un drama similar a una fuga en el transcurso de 14 breves tracks”. En la parte final del programa, escuchamos a Orcutt en el contexto de un trío en vivo, que completan el baterista Chris Corsano y el bajista y cantate Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls), registrado en el disco Thurston Moore & John Moloney, “Caught On Tape / Bishop*, Orcutt*, Corsano*” de la serie Parallelogram, de la que también fueron parte músicos y bandas como Six Organs Of Admittance, Bardo Pond, Yo La Tengo y Kurt Vile.

RHLSTP #179: Desiree Burch - Do the Hokey Cokey. Rich muses on passports and the fruition of John Moloney's aged comedians TV show, before meeting the fiercely intelligent comedian and writer Desiree Burch. They talk about posters made up of penises, being a virgin dominatrix, the fucked up state of America, the laziness of racism, unwanted and wanted piano lessons, changing your appearance to gauge the reaction of the world, and why men send dick pics. But never to Rich. Plus the joy of beautiful destruction.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Check out our website and become a badger and see extra content http://rhlstp.co.ukSee details of the RHLSTP tour dates http://richardherring.com/gigsBuy DVDs and Books at http://gofasterstripe.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RHLSTP #154: John Moloney - Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Richard freewheels about the poor quality of the suit he has had to wear as his nice ones no longer fit him, still giddy from a heady cocktail of tiredness and grief, but he's in for a relaxed and thoughtful hour, with a man who is not afraid to say what he thinks, John Moloney. They chat about Red Wedge, accordions, out-Catholicing Frank Skinner, performing in German and John's bold plans to create 'Dead At The Apollo' a showcase for comedians over 50. Some lovely stuff about overcoming chips on shoulders and some cheerleading for the unlikely twosome of Jeremy Corbyn and Jim Davidson. Also who is best science or Jesus?

John Moloney and Chris McCausland catch up with Justin Moorhouse. The underwear draw gets sorted. The Postbag and some reviews close the pod.

Garry is joined in the studio by the award-winning stand-up comedian John Moloney (twice won Best Live Performer at the London Comedy Festival) whose four-part Radio 4 series The John Moloney Show kicks off on Tuesday 12th May. Influenced by Les Dawson, Dave Allen, The Jam and West Ham United, John’s stand-up comedy is a finely crafted blend of wordplay, one-liners and cat molesting. His radio producer says that observing him at work is “like watching a masterclass unfold. He’s like a conductor and the audience is his orchestra.” Born in on the fringes of East London in Ilford, a part of Essex where he says “a man feels over-dressed if he has two ears”, ex-teacher Moloney is now the driving force behind the acclaimed Balham Comedy Festival which returns in July. He has strong and perhaps unexpected views on class, comedy and stadium comedians, and a background in traditional Irish music. The Balham Comedy Festival runs from the 10th to the 18th of July this year... click here for full programme and booking! >>>>>> Download the show as mp3 file Subscribe in iTunes

In Episode 4 my guest is Edmund Tirbutt. Edmund is a freelance journalist and writer. He’s been covering financial services topics for the last 27 years. His articles are always painstakingly researched and hard hitting. He used to be a semi-professional stand-up comedian and has recently started perform again alongside world renowned comedians like Mike Wozniak and John Moloney. Edmund feels that positive financial case studies are key to improving the public’s view of financial services. Listen as he explains what works and how advisers can talk to the media to showcase their positive stories.

The MPAF Podcast is a 30 minute audio show you download from http://rogeredwards.co.uk/mpaf (http://rogeredwards.co.uk/mpaf), iTunes or Stitcher Radio.

Mariella Frostrup is joined by former personal assistant to Nelson Mandela, Zelda la Grange; comedian John Moloney and country-blues musician Rattlesnake. Zelda la Grange grew up in South Africa as a white Afrikaner who supported the rules of segregation. Yet just a few years after the end of apartheid she became Nelson Mandela's trusted assistant for the next 19 years. In her book, Good Morning, Mr Mandela, she tells the story of how a young woman had her life, beliefs and prejudices transformed by the President of South Africa. Good Morning, Mr Mandela is published by Allen Lane. Rattlesnake Annie - known as Rattlesnake - is a country-blues musician. Born of Cherokee heritage on a cotton and tobacco farm in Paris, Tennessee, she began writing songs at 10 and soon afterwards formed a trio with her cousins, The Gallimore Sisters. At16 she was lured to Memphis by blues and rock n' roll where she learnt her craft under the tutelage of Muddy Waters and Lightnin' Hopkins. Her latest album is called World Of Love. John Moloney is a stand-up comedian. He is co-founder of the Balham Comedy Festival which is celebrating 30 years of London's comedy club, Banana Cabaret. Acts performing include Reginald D. Hunter, Susan Calman and Milton Jones. A former language teacher before turning to comedy, John cut his teeth on the Red Wedge tour during the 1980s and became a regular at London's Comedy Store. His new series will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 later this year.
