Capital Irish 22 June 2025

Presented by Andy Linton

 

Join Andy this week, as he shares with us some stories and highlights from a Podcast he's discovered called Empire, which talks about 'How do empires rise?' and has some connection to Ireland. You can find the podcast here - https://podcasts.apple.com/gp/podcast/empire/id1639561921

Andy has also discovered some quality Irish music by an artist called Hazlett Keers all the way from Fermanagh, and this show features songs from his album The Groves of Boho: Music from County Fermanagh, along with a great story of how his Granny's accordion featured on the TV show 'The Repair Shop' - https://fermanaghherald.com/2025/02/boho-man-gary-brings-grannys-accordion-back-to-life/

This program was also broadcast on Wellington Access Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.
