A couple of weeks back had the pleasure of talking to one of my oldest friends from back in the day. The highly talented fashion photographer Evan Doherty. Evan can be easily described as one of Ireland leading fashion and commercial photographers. 

He has stacked up a fantastic portfolio of work that counts enormous brands such as H&M, Jameson Whiskey, Bulmers and RTE, and high-class models and celebrities such as Ros Purcell and Conor McGregor, to name but a few, as clients of his.

He is top of his game in his profession, and I was delighted that he gave me his time to come on the show. We go way back to primary school days, and when we were getting into music and interests, that would shape who we would become. It was great catching up with an old friend, and I think you will enjoy this episode.

About five weeks ago, I had the fantastic opportunity to talk to an artist who I'm following at the moment—the fantastic collage artist Sorcha O Higgins. 

Before we sat down to do a zoom call, I had never met Sorcha before, so it was fun to interview her and learn more about her work.

The images she creates are fun, colourful pieces that are full of humour. They pop from the page when you see them. Check Sorchas work out by following the links below.

She works with many other mediums and has gone on a journey to get to where she is now. Something which we talk about along with a lot of various other topics in this week's show. Enjoy.

About two-week ago, I had the chance to catch up with one of my longest and closest friends, the legend who goes by the name of Barry Lennon.

I've known now Barry since primary school days and as long as I have known him, Barry has also been involved with and pushing forward various exciting and creative projects. 

Currently, he is the  Director of the enormous nationwide event called the ''Irish Youth Music Awards''. The IYMA'S are a youth music education programme. Its main aim is to support, develop and nurture future young musicians and creatives around the country.

As well as steering this massive project, he also manages and works with one of Irelands most interesting and exciting acts at the moment, with the fantastic  ''Katie Kim''.

He set up one of the most critical and influential independent labels Ireland has seen in recent memory with ''The Richter Collective ''. Working with such acts as ''Squarehead'', ''Adebisi Skank'', ''Bats'', ''Enemies'', ''The Redneck Manifesto'' and many many more, the label was a massive force to be reckoned with while it was running. 

I was delighted to have Barry on the show. It was great to catch up with him and see where the conversation led us. Do check out the links to the various acts Barry has been involved with over the years with this week's show.
