I'd heard of Aoife Dermody long before I met her, on the day before she was due to move back to Dublin after a spell in Melbourne. An activist, a singer, a teacher, a musician. On a sunny, chilly morning we met up in Preston, and ended up chatting about all manner of things - including Joe Fitzgerald and Joe Heaney, two true originals. In fact, this is the first of three episodes that sort of circle around Joe Heaney - his songs, and his life. So I hope you enjoy it. I left Aoife's house, dodging between the suticases in the hall, feeling like I'd been given a great parting gift from her. I hope you feel the same after listening.
