Donal Dineen's Summer Nights

The Great One is talking to Kilkenny percussionist / David Byrne impressionist / All-round lovely musician R.S.A.G. on his seasonal talk show tonight (he had Liam O'Maonlaí in last week). Anyone who knows us will understand that his weeknight show is easily the most pivotal event in our daily lives, so the development of this little series is an interesting one.

Donal's involved with the Body and Soul arena at Electric Picnic again this year, at which RSAG will be playing on the Saturday (along with the incredible Mike Milosh)

*** He just called two bodhrán players, Neil and Conor Lyons, the 'Seoige sisters of rhythm'.

**** He just called Martin Busden the Maurice FitzGerald of bass.

***** Lisa Hannigan, Damien Dempsay AND Liam O'Maonlaí are on next week!!!!!!!! A veritable who's who's of HiCoism, this is David McWilliams' wet dream of a radio show.

  2. Yeah it's true. I can't imagine many other German techno enthusiasts tucking into a hang sangwich in the Hogan Stand on a wet Sunday.
