This is a compilation / collection of interviews and sessions from my KCLR programme "Ceol Anocht". It's an Irish music show, broadcast from Kilkenny, Ireland. I say 'interviews' but they're more conversations, less formal.
Over the years I've had the pleasure of chatting with musicians across many genres. Some were broadcast in full, some were edited for reasons of time. Some were time critical (e.g. ahead of a local appearance), some had to be shelved and some were 'lost' in a hard drive fail, most of which were retrieved.
All will be in their original recorded form, with notes as appropriate.
I'm starting at the latest...and will work back.

I caught up with Oram Grace, AKA Organic Produce who has produced his third album "Rush", due for release on August 3rd.
Born and raised in Kilkenny, Organic Produce is a young up and coming producer/DJ. He first learned how to make beats when he was only 14 years old and within a few months he had released his first album "Hazy Instrumentals" in 2022, consisting of soulful sample based hip-hop. In early 2023 he released two more albums in the same genre expanding his skillset and only getting better, and in the same time releasing his first project exploring house music genres. With three official house music releases and a few remixes under his belt he is confidently making his way into the dance/rave scene.
We chatted about his coming to this style of music, and what started out as a brief chat about the upcoming album, soon moved into (me mostly) asking questions about his own form of music and the similarities to other forms of music, his preparation and approach to producing.
I learned a lot, and I would highly recommend this artist. The album will be on all the usual platforms and you'll be able to see Organic Produce on stage in Cleere's as part of the "You Bloom - The Future Sound Of Kilkenny", a series of gigs organised through the Arts Office Of Kilkenny County Council, on September 1st, 2024.
