With a surprising range of sounds for an outfit from Dublin - including gospel, rap, smoky blues and dirty funk - leader Mick Pyro and company sound like a cross between OutKast and the Stones, with a bit of Sly Stone thrown in. Although relatively unknown in the states, they attracted some heavy duty fans back home in their relatively short existence including Damien Dempsey, Sinéad O'Connor and Bono. "It must be something in the water..." Songs discussed in this episode: Intro - Republic Of Loose; Lay Down And Die, 5AM, The House Of Mercy, I Can't Look You In The Eye - Bex Marshall; Ride With Us (Live, The Olympia Theatre 2006), Kiodin Man, Hold Up! - Republic Of Loose; Give It Away Now - Red Hot Chili Peppers; Girl I'm Gonna Fuck You Up - Republic Of Loose; Miss You - The Rolling Stones; The House Of Mercy - Bex Marshall; Something In The Water, Tell More Lies, Slow Down - Republic Of Loose; Over The Rainbow - Eva Cassidy; Sweet Cola Of Mercy, Six Sober Sounds, Dial Jesus For Sweetness - Republic Of Loose; Guilty, Dirty Water - Bex Marshall; Black Bread - Republic Of Loose; Preaching To The Choir - Bex Marshall

Recently, I chatted with author Sophia Lambton about her book, "The Callas Imprint: A Centennial Biography". If you are a fan of Callas, which I am, this book offers you a deep dive into her life, born from extensive research, debunking popular theories and offering an authentic portrayal. Twelve years in the making "The Callas Imprint" reaps never-before-seen correspondence and archival documents worldwide—closing in on the self-contradictions of Callas, her attitudes and habits with empathic scrutiny. It swivels readers through the singer's on- and offstage scenes and flux of fears and dreams... the double life of all performers.

Missed some of your favourite bits during the week? Want to catch up on the craic from Dermot and Dave? Well look no further than the Dermot and Dave Best Of podcast, your home for all of the messing with none of the music! Whether you're on a drive, out on a walk, getting stuck into the gaff or garden or looking for a bit of distraction from work, the Dermot and Dave Best of podcast has just some of our favourite moments from the week gone by! It's all about Christmas on Dermot & Dave as we launched our ‘Campervan of Christmas Joy', but it was all nearly ruined by Dave's voice giving up on him! It's not like he needs it or anything…right? But it's no surprise that he lost it after what was an incredible weekend that involved presenting at a sold out Aviva Stadium, and performing live at the Olympia Theatre. Meanwhile, Dermot went full Dave sitting on the couch with a lap blanket and a Coke Zero. Absolute freaky Friday! We heard about the bird who tried to make TodayFM HQ its home, the incredible story of the Irish coffee and learned how people with really long nails type. Oh, and there's the small matter of Cathal's ear piercing…but more on that next week. Plus your faves like Say Stuff that Suits the Music, Dave's Bad Jokes and we try to explain what a caper is.

In this glorious and righteous episode, our heroes both have a bit of a disaster in entirely separate countries. Dear Rob is in Spain where he was due to gig and not everything went to plan entirely, and dear Kyle is in dear Ireland where he was let down by Leicester's finest indie rock & roll band (and possibly a ticket tout too simultaneously).

This week Jack and Sean chat to Faye Shortt the actor and comedian from her car in Limerick.   Faye has just finished several nights in the Olympia Theatre with her show ‘Well' that she wrote with her Da, Pat Shortt. Faye tells the lads all about her time in school and how she fell in love with acting and comedy. She talks about writing in lockdown and how her life plans changed once covid stuck. Faye tells the boys about growing up with a famous Da and about her utter enjoyment in working with him. Find us on Instagram, Facebook and don't forget to hit that subscribe button.

Episode 53 : A Clockwork Orange with Gillian Hills Gillian Hills is an actress, singer, songwriter, poet, artist and Illustrator, she really is the definition of the term Renaissance Woman. Born in Egypt, Gillian spent her early years in France, where she was discovered at the tender age of 14 by Roger Vadim, the director of And God Created Woman and Barbarella. Vadim described her as the next Brigitte Bardot and cast her in his version of Dangerous Liaisons, released in 1959. In 1960, at 15, Gillian was cast in the lead of the British film Beat Girl with co-stars Adam Faith, Christopher Lee and Oliver Reed. That same year, Gillian recorded her first records with Henri Salvador, for the French record label Barclay, and In 1961, she appeared at the Olympia Theatre in Paris on the bill with Johnny Hallyday. Serge Gainsbourg wrote his first duet for Hills, which they sang together on French TV in 1963. She was soon signed up to the AZ record label and continued to record her self-penned songs as well as cover versions of the latest pop songs. Then another string of films followed, appearing in Michelangelo Antonioni's first English language film, the classic 1966 Blowup, The film version of John Osborne's Inadmissible Evidence (1968), The Owl Service (1969), a television adaptation of the Alan Garner novel, Georges Franju's La Faute de l'abbé Mouret, and she replaced Marianne Faithfull in the 1972 horror Demons of the Mind for Hammer Film Productions. Gillian then moved to New York and enjoyed a successful career as a book and magazine illustrator. In recent years her music has been featured in the film “Mesrine Part One: Killer Instinct” with Vincent Cassel, the Season 5 premiere of Mad Men in 2012, and The Queen's Gambit in 2020 …and she has just released her new self-penned album, Lili, which reflects on her early years aged between 11 and 19.

When you think of the Olympia Theatre you might think of glitz and glamour. You might think of the gigs you’ve been to. The plays. The shows. What you probably don’t think about is the darker side.

Sinead Cusack was born in Ireland into a acting dynasty. Her first ambition, whilst at convent school, was to be a saint. But her behaviour didn't match her early aspiration: as a teenager she was nearly expelled from school for dramatising the Profumo affair for the headmistress's feast day. Her first professional part was at the age of eleven when her father, the actor Cyril Cusack, cast her in an adaptation of Kafka's The Trial at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin. She played a deaf mute - she says perhaps he did it to keep her quiet, because he wasn't keen for her to pursue acting and said she would never be a classical actress. Sinead's first roles were at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, whilst she was still at university. She came to London, where she took over from a pregnant Judi Dench in London Assurance in 1975. She joined the Royal Shakespeare Company which, she says, taught her all she knows. For Our Lady of Sligo (1998), in which Sinead played the lead role of Mai O Hara and showed in Ireland, on Broadway and at the National, she received the 1998 Evening Standard Award for Best Actress and 1998 Critics Drama Award for Best Actress. She was also nominated for Best Actress/Drama Desk Award and for Best Actress for Olivier Award.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Pie Jesu from Faure's Requiem by Gabriel Fauré Book: Collected plays by Anton Chekhov Luxury: A big hat with a lot of muslin
