Welcome to the latest edition of The Greenlight podcast with Dara Qulty.

This week he is having a really good time with the suitably named Really Good Time as two of the band, Ado Tornado and Wastefellow, come in for a wide ranging natter.

We get to hear all about their excellent new album Aspirations, taking inspiration from Bob Dylan appearing on relaity TV and their frustrations of using social media to push the band.

They also get to choose between Dublin Bus and The Luas and whether licking a toad is preferable to eating slugs.

Thanks to Wastefellow and Aido for coming in. Aspirations is GREAT and out now!

This week on The Greenlight Podcast, Dara sits down with Emily Aylmer and Kieran McGuinness of Driven Snow.

They chat meeting on the Irish gig circuit, the highs and chaos of Delorentos and Republic of Loose-era Ireland, and how Driven Snow was born in the pandemic (with a home studio, deadlines, and kids asleep upstairs).

There’s also a genuinely beautiful deep-dive into the new album’s family threads — including “Dawn Chorus”, Emily’s poem, and voices from across generations woven into the final track.

Driven Snow are set to will release their stunning second studio album, Mother of Christ, on September 11,

This week on The Greenlight Podcast, Dara is joined by Lucy from Last Apollo, fresh back from London with a new single, Home, and a whole lot of real talk.

Lucy gets into why she writes so honestly, basically turning the diary inside out, and how songs can “keep people company” when they’re going through it. From heartbreak and big feelings to why it’s still always worth it, she explains the headspace behind the record.

They also chat Queen, classical training in Trinity, the Windmill scene, and the wild Sergio Maschetzko recording story.
