Episode 9.0 (Kevin Young INMYND)

Kevin Young is a songwriter, recording artist, entrepreneur and spiritual seeker from Saintfield County Down.

I first met Kevin back in 2011; on numerous occasions I played supper time shows in his eloquent little cafe, whilst over indulging in the rich labours of his culinary expertise.

Kevin now specialises in spiritual and emotional mentorship, working with clients from all walks of life, from across the provence. His company is called INMYND and you can find him online in all the usual places.

Joshua Burnside and his Alt Folk barley soaked sound is increasingly becoming one of Northern Ireland's most precious commodities and prolific exports. With the New Orleans Folk Alliance only days behind him, the Lisbane blood drive train hurtles onward picking up dedicated fans and followers at every station.

Rosie Barry is an actress, singer and performer from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Rosie works predominantly in television and theatre; her recent projects include 'Line of Duty' 'Pablo' and 'Ups and Downs'. 

She and I have worked together for many years collaborating musically in the studio and on stage; her tectonic vocal tone a saffronic harmonic delight of the highest proportion.

A full time creative in a town yet within the lumber of resolve; Barry (like many others) works tirelessly throughout the provence,  perfecting and teaching her craft. 


In this interview we talk about growing up here and the role of the artist; about composing and creating moments and memories for audiences and patrons alike, who both live and visit our wee city.

Episode 5.0: Seamus Campbell

What does a Maghera farmer's son do, when the economic viability of carrying on his families vocational tradition, becomes unsustainable in an ever changing modern landscape.

Well… this farmer's son writes a thesis on gender and masculinities, walks the pilgrims road in search of the great White Spirit and spends his idle time reading poets like Whyte, O'Donohue and Dylan.

Seamus Campbell is a writer, researcher and aspiring feminist from County Derry. 

His pioneering work around masculinities within conflict transcends cultural and religious divides.

Episode 4.0 Kenny & Victoria Baird

'Origin' is a community farm and acreage just outside Ballymoney.
A collective of habitual gardening practitioners well versed in more traditional forms of crop production; implementing practices that have been long absent from these baronies.
As from beneath the comforting gaze of secluded sycamore and bright Irish Ash, dark earth is turned upside down in the pursuit of happiness.
It is here that Kenny Baird and his wife Victoria have transformed this once congregated chicken farm into a land loving community space and creative horticultural hub.
