HAPPY CHRISTMAS! This month we spoke to Molly Cantwell about her charity cover of ‘River' which was released on Wednesday the 20th of December in aid of GCN (Gay Community News), in memory of her late friend Joe Drennan who was killed this year in a hit-and-run incident in Limerick. We also chatted about her time dressing as a medieval lady to sing at banquets in Knappogue and Bunratty, her work in journalism, and some hidden talents that she has not adequately exploited recently. Molly Cantwell is a 25-year-old Irish/Valenciano/Madeiran queer multimedia journalist and student at the University of Limerick - as well as an award-winning shower singer to-be. Currently sitting as managing editor of Limerick Voice and editor-in-chief of An Focal, Molly is passionate about platforming human rights and equality stories as well as writing about music, arts and culture, news, politics, and much more. She freelances for Hot Press and Overblown, with previous work in The Clare Echo, GCN, The Irish Examiner, The Limerick Leader, and more.  During her time as a student in Limerick College of Further Education (2018 - 2020), Molly solo-produced and created her National Student Media Award nominated radio documentary “Cyber Killer - Qu'est - Ce Que C'est?”. In 2022, Molly also sat as editor-in-chief of CURIOUS - a UL magazine created by second year students. She has been nominated for the Smedias eight times - winning two of these categories. Molly has already lived another lifetime as a professional entertainer with Shannon Heritage, which she thoroughly enjoyed, but she is excited to finish college in 2024 and get her journalism career properly started. She is inspired by the dedicated work of her colleagues at Hot Press and female journalists like Zara King, Sarah McInerney, Claire Byrne, Louise McSharry, Aoife Moore, and more.  Follow Molly Cantwell on Instagram at @WhatMollyDoesNext and on Twitter/X at @whatmolsaysnext  Buy "River" on Bandcamp NOW here: https://mollycantwell.bandcamp.com/track/river  GCN is a free, vital resource by the LGBTQ+ community for the LGBTQ+ community since 1988.

Today we spoke with Damien Quinn - Illustrator for professional sports teams, and Curator of 'The Drawn Game' Damien Quinn (draws...as per his instagram handle) is a supremely talented Limerick-born illustrator currently living in Sydney, Australia. His clients are very impressive - FC Barcelona, NRL, Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, New York Red Bulls, British and Irish Lions, Taste Ireland, Sporting Limerick, The Limerick Leader and Atlanta United FC of the MLS. Damien illustrated the children's book 'Up in the Air', written by former Tipperary All Ireland winner Paddy Stapleton. The Drawn Game is an illustrated look at the GAA, featuring artwork by 27 illustrators and artists. Damien spoke with some of the greats from the world of hurling, camogie and Gaelic football and of course illustrated some pieces. There are brilliant stories and insights from legends of the game including John Mullane, Jamesie O'Connor, Sarah Dervan, TJ Ryan, Jacqui Hurley and Will O'Donoghue to name but a few from issue 2; proceeds from the sale of the book support Pieta House and Samaritans. Today we spoke about how Damien got involved with so many prestigious sporting institutions, compelling projects, appreciation of work on social media, and collaboration as part of 'The Drawn Game'. We unpacked memorable art pieces, his process of iteration and sending out work to the public, and how to sustain excellence with a team...rather than only doing one great piece. Damien opened up on supporting charities - he's a giver...a high performer in the truest sense.

Few neighborhoods, if any,  in New York City have gone through as many upheavals over the last 60 years, as has Bushwick in Brooklyn.  For an area that covers a mere two and a half square miles, the sea-changes it has witnessed during this period, both economic and demographic, have been massive.  And its residents have lived through times of great urban peril.But Bushwick has remained a community. How it has retained its distinct and unique identity through so much turmoil, is due in no small part to one man, laboring as he does in the fields of the Lord, a de facto missionary among peoples that are often 'othered', providing his neighborhood a link to the past, and a path to the future. That man is Monsignor James Kelly, since 1960 a priest and pastor in Bushwick's St. Brigid's parish.  And that man is an Irishman, encapsulating the finest, less-heralded, stereotypes of his people.  He is compassionate, funny, welcoming, erudite and above all in his Irishness, the possessor of a keen sense of justice. No doubt it was inevitable  that CenterPieceNY would at some point feature a Catholic priest.  But this priest, Fr. Jim Kelly, is special.  He is a natural-born priest, with a jolliness and a joie-de-vivre which sharply contradicts the world of hurt in which he moves, while at the same time complimenting his keen intellect. The Gospel calls him only in the direction of social justice, and he follows it there.  When obstacles arise he overcomes them–not by beating them, but by joining them. When the criminal courts became adversarial to his charges, he became a lawyer and legally represented them; when the game switched to immigration court, he went there too; when languages became barriers between him and those in need, he learned them, and became fluent in them. There are many that have benefitted from Fr. Kelly's help in the course of six decades, and he often rises to the level of sainthood among them.  He is continuously sought out, this Padre For The Poor.  They say if you want something done, give it to a busy person, and Fr. Kelly, in his 80s, will therefore always be at center of action in his Bushwick office.In the concrete whirlwind that is Bushwick, his mind often travels to his peaceful childhood home in Adare, County Limerick, in Ireland, and onto the playing fields where his beloved and indescribable game of hurling is played as if life itself depended on it.No wonder he quotes the line "the savage loves his native shore"  from The Irishman by James Orr.This episode was not taped in front of a live audience. Have a listen and you'll get it.  Learn of the Burning of Bushwick in 1977, and of Fr. Kelly's adventures with the late Bishop Eammon Casey,  how St. Brigid's parish got its name, and lots more!Special thanks to siblings Richard and Princess at District 3 Youth and Adult Center, for helping me with my interview of Fr. Kelly, and for all their hard work.
