In this episode, I sit down with legendary Irish singer-songwriter Mick Hanly, whose journey through music has been shaped by a deep search for personal and creative freedom.Growing up in Limerick, Mick's early years were marked by the rigid structures of a Christian Brothers education, a system that sought to suppress individuality and silence voices. But rather than breaking him, it set him on a lifelong path to reclaim his voice—both literally and artistically. Through music, he found a way to express what was once held back, creating songs that resonate with the struggles and triumphs of those seeking their own liberation.We talk about his journey, the power of storytelling in song, and how uncovering his true voice became a mission not just for himself, but for others walking a similar road.
