Irish Jack
Jack Lyons, or more affectionally known as “Irish Jack” was quintessential in the making of Quadrophenia. This documentary follows his journey from Gillabbey Street in Cork City to Shepard’s Bush in London and how he went on to inspire, influence and befriend Pete Townshend and other members of The Who. They say never meet your hero’s, well Jack would beg to differ. No copyright intended.

Cork Vinyl Community
This is a documentary on the Cork Vinyl Community. In it we passionately explore what vinyl means to us and examine the journey it can take us on. This journey is told by the voices of Stevie G, John Dwyer from The Bunker Vinyl, Colin Biggs from Records and Relics and John Byrne who is a record collector. We touch on a variety of topics such as how the record store owners came to be, Brexit and the time Kanye came to Cork.
Customer Reviews
Irish Jack
From start to finish engaging and tantalising. I personally find Mr Drake’s charismatic yet gentle approach never fails to extract the perfect answers from his guests whilst also keeping them in a relaxed mindset resulting in a more pleasant interview.
This podcast has not only broadened my view of music but it has also enhanced my love for it. Every episode is a new journey and a learning experience.
5 star review
Interesting and engaging from start to finish. As a non expert on the vinyl community or the cork music scene this gave me an amazing insight about what it’s all about. With infamous special guests appearances on the documentary I was able to see the effect vinyl had on many of these guest lives from start to present day and their amazing journeys. I would definitely recommend this documentary to all.
Magical
An old soul with a young heart. Delightedly chats about vinyl and good laughs in there too. Well presented interviews for a first time Genius.
