This month on the Vinyl Hours podcast series, director of the Arts Council Maureen Kennelly joins host Tiernan Henry to share the soundtrack of her life
Each month from May to August, we're inviting Vinyl Hours special guests to our virtual recording studio to share the music that has defined their life. Arts Council director Maureen Kennelly's eclectic mix of tunes includes Mary Margaret O'Hara, Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill, Tom Waits, Saint Sister, Lisa Hannigan, and Bill Callahan.
In the episode, Maureen and Tiernan discuss the music Maureen grew up with, her own musical ambitions, the concerts she'll never forget, and the new generation of Irish musicians inspiring her today.
