Description
In an extended Lockdown Episode #31, Dónal introduces some new music from Loraine James and Star Feminine Band before checking in with two leading Irish lights stateside.   First up is acclaimed author and all-round total legend, Maeve Higgins, who discusses post-election relief on the ground in Brooklyn as well as her sterling work for the New York Times and other publications.   Then it's onto Los Angeles to check back in with B+. As well as making art and films and writing and lecturing, B+ remains a committed vinyl digger and here he puts together four short sets of 'Digs from the Floor' especially for us.   As well as being a significant player, he also talks a good game and the chats in-between sets are lengthy and strong.
