Really saddened by the death of Brian Wilson. I will post a podcast based on an interview we did. In the meantime, here is Mike Love - falsely claiming since Brian died, that he himself "co-created all The Beach Boys mus
Bono makes magnificent self-promo videos. The latest is on Apple. However, most Irish journalists are aware that he has never told the whole story. Dunphy and I talked about this 30 years ago. He wrote their bio
While watching the funeral of Pope Francis on TV, I was transported by the hymns being sung. It brought me back to my roots. I dedicate this podcast to the memory of Pope Francis
As I say in the intro to this podcast, made March 22, 2025, the week of the Trump dump of JFK assassination papers that still didn't tell us conclusively who killed Kennedy, I have been fascinated by JFK and the murder o
It does not seem like thirty years since I sat and chatted with Dermot before he was forced to leave Ireland to go to the UK to get a TV station to back Father Ted. I'm rerposting this and will repost part two.
Boyzone No Matter What, the Sky documentary being screened globally, originated in The Joe Jackson Archive of 1,400 tapes of celebrity interviews. It uses my tapes and photographs, but there is far more material in my ar
I loved Kris Kristofferson's music since a girlfriend gave me his first LP. So you can imagine what a joy it was to meet and interview the man for the first of four times in 1993. We had a two-hour chat backstage at a Jo
Kris has died since I first posted this podcast. I love the song, was thrilled ot be able to talk to him abiut its geneisis and about Johnny Cash Enjoy
I wrote a book called Nanci Griffith's Other Voices: A Personal History of Folk Music. For it, I did a half-hour phone interview with Pete Seeger - from Ireland to America – hence the sound ain't great - and for a few mi
While digitising my Boyzone interview tapes that led to the Sky documentary Boyzone No Matter What, I came across this short clip at the end of an interview, I was taping on the phone with Sinead. She had read and loved
Another uncut clip from the audio tapes that led to Boyzone No Matter What. The revelation of the series to many viewers seems to be that manager Louis Walsh was the "villain" of the story. I believe there is more to it
The tensions between members of Boyzone may be new and news to the millions of people watching the Sky Documentary Boyzone No Matter What, but they are not to me. The documentary originated in my archive of tapes. Here's
The new Sky Arts documentary No Matter What originated in my archive of 1,400 celebrity interviews. I also wrote the book Boyzone Our Story and interviewed the lads in-depth from 1994-2002. Here is the first set of inter
As I say in the intro to this podcast, hastily put together on 'the evening of the day' I heard Marianne had died, she was one of the most fascinating women I met, in, or beyond the world of celebrity interviewing. She a
I love this phone chat I had with Leonard. It was our third interview and showed me and - when published in The Irish Times - that Cohen had a great sense of humour. But I am guessing that Bono doesn't like what he said.
It's coming up to forty years since I, as a Cohen fan, and writer, not journalist, conned my way into meeting Cohen by getting a commission to interview him for a rock magazine. It left me feeling so transcendent I decid
It's been. more than thirty years since I did this phone interview with Joan Baez. I'm reposting it because of the release of the movie A Complete Unknown. I'd prefer to listen to the real Joan Baez, telling her own stor
Boy George telling me to tell Bono that if he still hadn't found what he was looking for, he should look behind the drum kit, was just a quip. But the quote made it around the world thanks to MTV news. It's just a bit of
Tommy Tiernan is now an interviewer who aspires to do in-depth interviews on TV. I commend his aspiration. Here is part of an in-depth interview he did with me. Am I kidding about any of this? You decide!
Imagine falling love with a song when you are 16, the, later in life meeting the guy who sang it and who asks yo uto write his life story! This is a tiny section from the chapter about Macarthur Park, from my book Richar
