Description
The last episode in our summer 2021 series was recorded at Mike and Gráinne O'Neill's Beach Cafe in the seaside village of Fenit in North Kerry.
We're conducting some more musical introductions in this edition as both Cathal Caufield and Killian O'Flanagan, recording as Kú, are at the beginning of their journeys into sound. We listen to their respective debut releases; Cathal's 'The Morning Trush' and 'Jack & Susan go for a drive' by Kú before enjoying a selection of tunes live from both their repertoires.
There's also an illustrated guide to some of their key influences from Neillidh Boyle to Barry Gleeson as well as a tribute to the trailblazing Greek violinist, Alexis Zoumbas.
