Podcast appearances and mentions of louise bruton

Louis Walsh is undoubtedly one of Irelands most successful music moguls of all time. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, the Mayo native had an ear for talent and an eye for a story, helping him shape pop music history—one headline at a time. But Walsh was no stranger to bending the rules to get his acts noticed and has come under renewed flack after his appearance on a new docuseries ‘Boyzone: No Matter What' chronicling the rise of one of Irelands greatest pop exports, and for better or worse, his hand in their success. Just how did a small-town manager build a global sensation, and would it have worked any other way? Copy: From Boyzone, to Westlife, to The X Factor and beyond, Louis Walsh is undoubtedly one of Irelands most successful music moguls of all time. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, the Mayo native had an ear for talent and an eye for a story, helping him shape pop music history—one headline at a time. But Walsh was no stranger to bending the rules to get his acts noticed and has come under renewed flack after his appearance on a new docuseries ‘Boyzone: No Matter What' chronicling the rise of one of Irelands greatest pop exports, and for better or worse, his hand in their success. In the documentary, he reveals that he used to sell stories about Boyzone to tabloids to keep them in the public eye, including ­rumours, such as one that Baby Spice and Stephen Gately were dating. If they “got the front page”, he said, he was happy. Lynch recently said: “We've always known the way Louis Walsh operates. And in fairness to him, Ireland and the name Louis Walsh, he's a big name and a big fish in the music industry. Was his puppeteering of the press a necessary evil, or can the highs and lows of Boyzone act as a cautionary tale to a music industry still under scrutiny for how it treats its young stars Today on the Indo Daily Fionnán Sheahan is joined by journalist Ann Marie Hourihane and culture writer Louise Bruton, to discuss how a small-town manager built a global sensation, and ask: would it have worked any other way?

On this week's podcast, episode 233, we are talking about what we learned from fairly shocking Britney Spears' new autobiography The Woman In Me.Nialler and Andrea Cleary are joined by pop culture writer and DJ Louise Bruton to discuss the chilling details that Britney Spears reveals about her career and private life.That includes her treatment by the media, fame-hungry exes Justin Timblerake and Kevin Federline, the conservatorship, and the ultra-overbearing toxic role that her parents held over her for 13 years where they controlled what she ate, where she was allowed to live, how she performed and all manner of abuse-like behaviour including putting her in a mental health institute for taking energy supplements or refusing to do a dance move.Britney was denied her own lawyer for 13 years but finally broke free of the conservatorship to regain control of her own life finally.It's a miracle that Britney is even alive after the harrowing experiences of what she's lived through, and what her family put her through.Louise and Pop Emergencies are presenting their annual Britmas at Wigwam in Dublin on Friday December 15th, in support of ActionAid's Gaza Crisis Appeal.Special thanks to Georgia Hallion for editing this episode.* Support Nialler9 on Patreon, get event discounts, playlists, ad-free episodes & join our Discord communityListen on Apple | Android | ACAST | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS FeedShow notesSongs played on the Nialler9 Podcast Spotify Playlist #FreeBritney: The Framing Britney Spears Documentary with Louise Bruton.

Episode 220 is a chat with the journalist, pop culture writer, and author Michael Cragg.Michael's new book Reach for the Stars is a rip-roaring oral history of UK pop music between 1996 and 2006, told through the interviews with the popstars, the songwriters, producers, label executives, pop fans, svengalis and culture writers of the day.It's an unputdownable behind-the-scenes history of British pop music that tells the story of the Spice Girls, 5ive, Steps, S Club 7, Atomic Kitten, Girls Aloud, JLS, Liberty X, Sugababes, The X-Factor and more.The book contains many anecdotes like Geri Halliwell missing the Spice Girls audition because she had sunburn or 5ive saying 'Baby One More Time' is "fucking wank” to Max Martin's face.We spoke to Michael about pop stars' mad schedules, the lack of mental health awareness, Xenomania, the moguls like Pete Waterman; the homophobia around boy bands coming out, TOTP, Smash Hits and the media landscape of the day, and the crazy pressure they were under in which a number two record is considered was failure.Michael Cragg will also be appearing for an interview and Q&A with our pal Louise Bruton at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party on Saturday July 15th at Wigwam.

Episode 209 is a chat with our pal, journalist, author, playwright, DJ and wheelchair user Louise Bruton.Louise has recently restarted her Legless In Dublin platform on a paid Substack (free to disabled people), where she is "covering areas of access and disability, reviews and personal essays that champion disabled people and educate non-disabled people".It came after Louise had grown exhausted by being a source of free advice for others working in the live music industry who would ask her for an answer about access, a quote for media, or put the burden of the answer on her, so she is charging for that knowledge.We talk to Louise about the current issues with accessibility at venues. It was eye-opening to hear Louise share her experiences of venues, that are on the surface , accessible, but the inclusivity stops there - with the experience of the gig itself often an afterthought - involving restricted views, bad sight lines, and a limit of one friend to keep you company.In the last few years, music communities have done much to address inclusivity, gender balance and making spaces more welcoming, but it appears that wheelchair users like Louise are still left wondering when they will be included to the same level of access to the live music experience.Listen on Apple | Android | ACAST | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed* Support Nialler9 on Patreon and join our Discord communityShow notesSongs played on the Nialler9 Podcast Spotify Playlist Hosted on Acast.

30 years ago this week, Singer Sinead O'Connor sparked outrage when she tore up a picture of the Pope during her musical performance on Saturday Night Live.The fallout of that action is at the centre of Kathryn Ferguson's new documentary about Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares - which is in cinemas this Friday.Following the release of last year's Rememberings, O'Connor's biography, the film tells the story of Sinead's upbringing, subsequent success focusing on the early period of her career and the vindication of her actions at the time. Sinead O'Connor was ahead of her time.The documentary celebrates a maverick artist, who never compromised her personal integrity or artistry, who was often ridiculed, and deemed the mad Irish women who shaved her head, who spoke up for minorities, criticised the church for child abuse coverups, Magdalene laundries (which she had direct experience of), and Ireland's fight for abortion rights.These causes and beliefs are now mainstream but at the time, O'Connor was openly mocked for pointing out the abuses of power (especially in America, where she refused to allow the National Anthem to play before her concert) further fuelling an anti-patriotism sentiment around the Irish artist, that fundamentally altered her pop career, one that she never wanted anyway.“I'm not a pop star. I'm just a troubled soul who needs to scream into mikes now and then.”Sinead O'Connor was a protest singer, first and foremost. Joining Niall and Andrea to discuss the Sinead O'Connor film is pop critic Louise Bruton. We discuss her relationship with Gay Byrne, the parallels to Britney and MIA, that Bob Dylan tribute concert, and the aforementioned themes from the film. Hosted on Acast.

In 1998, a fresh-faced 16-year-old Britney Spears became an overnight global superstar with the release of her debut single Baby One More Time. She went on to sell over 150 million records, win multiple awards and gain a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But for nearly half of Spears' impressive career, the singer hasn't had full control over her life. For the last thirteen years, she has been under a conservatorship controlled by her father, which gives him the legal right to make decisions on her finances, work commitments, health and personal life. This summer, Spears has been fighting the conservatorship in court, describing the details of her life in a harrowing testimony which shocked fans around the world. In today's episode, Róisín Ingle speaks to Kimberly Wehle, Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore about the details of her conservatorship battle and to journalist Louise Bruton about the life and career of America's biggest pop star.

Louise is behind the Legless in Dublin blog; how hard is it to keep something like that going on your own? Also: singledom, access glasses, lone wolves and velociraptors.

Gavin Cummiskey and Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times and Sinead O'Carroll, news editor of the journal.ie talk about reporting on Rio, the fallout from the scandal surrounding Pat Hickey and alleged ticket touting, doping in sport, and the art in conveying the experience of sports people in their crucial moment of victory. Our next discussion focused on writing for television and film, and features Sarah Francis, who was previously story editor for Fair City, and Louise Ní Fhiannachta, the director of Epic, TG4 groundbreaking Irish TV drama, and the award-winning short movie “Rubai”. She has also written for Ros na Rún and Irish language drama Seacht. The discuss just how much work goes into TV drama. The Fair City Story Room, for example, works 50 weeks a year, creating storylines for 200 episodes. The also talk about what Netflix and Amazon mean for making TV and the format of TV shows, the role of showrunners here and abroad, and discuss the national past time of slagging off RTE. And finally on today's show Irish times arts writes discuss the joys and the frustrations of writing about culture. You'll hear from Laurence Mackin, Una Mullally, Patrick Freyne and, Peter Crawley and Louise Bruton. How do you review an album you;ve only heard once? How do you stay impartial in a country as small as Ireland? And what happens when you make a critical judgement and realise you've got it wrong? And finally, a sad announcement: this is the final episode of Off Topic, at least for now. Thanks very much to all our listeners, participants and to everyone who gave feedback on the show.

Beyoncé Knowles is fast approaching twenty years in the business. First coming to attention as part of the hugely successful and consistent girl group phenomenon Destiny's Child, her transition to multi-platinum solo artist was seamless and logical. Some six albums in and Beyoncé, much like Motown artists of old, has taken a more personal and socially conscious approach to her art. On today's podcast Laurence Mackin invites pop music aficionados Jen Gannon, Louise Bruton and Seamas O'Reilly to pore over the career trajectory of one of today's more compelling pop stars, from the Destiny's Child hit machine to her solo success and her latest effort 'Lemonade', a so-called "visual album" that takes a look at where Beyoncé is from and where she is going.

Alan Maguire and Ellen Tannam talk to writer Sarah Maria Griffin about a film that was important to her as a teenager, The Fifth Element. Questions asked and answered in this episode include: Is The Fifth Element a noir? Who would we cast in a gender-swapped The Fifth Element? Is Ruby Rhod a queer icon? Is Bruce Willis a hot dad? Could The Fifth Element be made today? Is it weird and cool that Ellen and Sarah had never met before this episode but have something very important in common? How did Sarah turn some of the issues with being a Woman Who Likes Sci-Fi on their head while writing her first novel Spare And Found Parts? Is there really any need to watch Breaking Bad or True Detective? How strong are Alan’s keratin levels?

Ruth Medjber has been a photographer in the Irish music scene for the past 12 years. As a new exhibition, entitled Women of Notes, in collaboration with Louise Bruton (interviewed on TPOE 18), continues at Dublin café Thirty-Four, Ruth talked to fellow photographer Bríd O'Donovan about why it was important to focus on women in the music industry and the future plans for Women of Notes. She also discusses how she started out with music photography (cursing helps) and why it's important to say no to working for free.

Irish Times film critic Donald Clarke is in studio to talk with Hugh and Fionn about Star Wars, the oddities of the all-time highest grossing list and why The Force Awakens probably won't make it to the top. They also discuss the Darth of other releases this Christmas - why could that possibly be? - and what makes a good Christmas movie (copying Dickens, essentially). Later on the show: people feel the need to approach journalist and wheelchair user Louise Bruton to ask her about her disability. It's something she is not very pleased about. Her article about it this week in The Irish Times provoked some comment, so she's come to studio to explain a little more.

This week on the show I was joined by Louise Bruton, owner of LeglessinDublin.com to discuss accessibility at gigs and venues and much more besides. Plus, a short essay on three days of the Web Summit last week.
