    Jayne Pomplas – Irish Music, Creativity, ADHD, Near-Death Experiences & How the World Ends EP76

    In Episode 76 of the Temple Barred Podcast, Jim Win and Philip Noone are joined by phenomenal musician, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jayne Pomplas for a wide-ranging conversation about music, creativity, ADHD, spirituality, quantum physics and the experiences that shape who we become. Growing up in upstate New York, Jayne discovered Irish traditional music at an incredibly young age, learning by ear through the Suzuki method before travelling regularly to Ireland and eventually making the life-changing decision to move to Ennis at just 17 years old. Jayne shares her journey through the close-knit world of Irish traditional music, her experiences performing around the world, and her remarkable ability to move effortlessly between musical styles. From traditional Irish sessions to recording with artists including Mick Pyro and The Darkness, Jayne discusses life as a session musician and the unique challenge of finding your own artistic voice when versatility has always been one of your greatest strengths. The conversation turns to creativity, songwriting and Jayne’s upcoming album, This Is How the World Ends — a deeply personal collection of songs exploring growing up, identity, change and learning to create without placing limitations on yourself. Jayne also opens up about her ADHD diagnosis, sensory overload and the decision to radically change the way she was living and working. She reflects on how stepping away from relentless pub gigs gave her the space to write, create and reconnect with the parts of herself that had been pushed aside. From there, things go full Temple Barred. The conversation dives into spirituality, mythology, quantum physics, consciousness, psychedelics and Jayne’s extraordinary near-death experience — an event in which she describes the sensation of her physical self dissolving into something far greater, leaving her with a profoundly different perspective on life, death and the nature of consciousness. Along the way, the lads and Jayne somehow find time to discuss Irish music in Oman, terrifying family road trips across America, cruise ships following the route of the Titanic, lightning strikes, the 27 Club, nepo babies, Norah Jones, Ravi Shankar and why Jim suddenly knows far more about thunderstorms than he did before the podcast began. Jayne also talks about working with David Keenan, recording an album live in the studio, her upcoming performances and the release of This Is How the World Ends. Music, madness, creativity, consciousness and the collapsing dualities of existence. Just another episode of the Temple Barred Podcast.

No convictions, no drama… just life lessons, closure and a reminder that kebab shops and pints remain a dangerous combination. From there, the conversation jumps continents as Philip shares stories from performing across Belgium, Portugal, Germany, South Africa and beyond — revealing the reality of life as a travelling musician: airports, weddings, no sleep, unforgettable venues and trying to stay present while moving at 100mph. Jim reflects on being present through two emotional family milestones in one day — a child’s first school trip and another’s graduation — leading into a bigger conversation about growing up, identity, COVID generations and how young people experience the world differently. The episode drifts into one of those classic Temple Barred deep-dives: ✨ consciousness & non-duality ✨ incel culture & internet identity ✨ social media & youth culture ✨ Billie Eilish, music and meaning ✨ Law of One philosophy ✨ love vs fear ✨ addiction, free will & modern life ✨ Harrison Ford’s unlikely rise to fame ✨ AI music creation and the future of songwriting ✨ old films, nostalgia and why Ghost hit differently this time There’s philosophy, laughs, questionable takes, stories from the road and a reminder that maybe life isn’t something to control — maybe it’s something to experience.

From growing up in Ireland with dreams of becoming a professional footballer, to signing in England with Blackburn Rovers and playing at elite level, Robbie shares what it really takes to chase that dream — and what happens when reality hits. This episode goes far beyond football. Robbie opens up about the highs of his career, unforgettable European nights, and the harsh realities behind the scenes — from pressure and rejection to identity and mental health. At the heart of this conversation is a deeply personal story of loss, as Robbie reflects on the passing of his brother and how that moment reshaped his entire life. We also explore: * The mindset required to make it in professional football * The unseen struggles young Irish players face abroad * Life after football and rebuilding identity * How music became a form of healing and expression * Mental health, self-awareness, and personal growth * Why success means something completely different now This is a raw and inspiring story about resilience, grief, purpose, and transformation — and how life can redirect you toward who you’re truly meant to be. ⸻ 🔑 Keywords (SEO) Temple Barred Podcast, Jim Win, Philip Noone, Robbie Doyle, Irish football podcast, Blackburn Rovers, Bohemians FC, League of Ireland, football mental health, athlete transition, grief and healing, music journey, Irish podcast, life after football, personal development ⸻ 🔗 Follow & Support 🎙️ Temple Barred Podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TempleBarredPodcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/templebarredpodcast 👤 Jim Win Music & Links: https://hyperfollow.com/JimWin 👤 Philip Noone Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philipnooneofficial Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7bquVhkbGmdnAUNud1OGlU 🎧 Robbie Doyle Website: http://www.robbiedoyle.ie

    The Angels Story: Ray Heffernan on Robbie Williams & The Songwriting Controversy

    In Episode 72 of the Temple Barred Podcast, hosts Jim Win and Philip Noone sit down with acclaimed Irish songwriter Ray Heffernan for one of the most compelling and thought-provoking conversations yet. At the centre of this episode is the origin story behind “Angels”, the global hit made famous by Robbie Williams — and the untold story of how Ray’s role in its creation was ultimately left uncredited. Ray shares how a chance meeting in Dublin led to a late-night writing session that would become one of the biggest songs of all time — and how that moment turned into a defining lesson about the realities of the music industry. Over the years, this story has grown far beyond one individual experience. It has become a cautionary tale for songwriters and artists worldwide — highlighting the importance of publishing, ownership, and understanding the contracts you sign. And now, the story has taken on a life of its own… It has recently been unofficially adapted into a Hollywood film, Power Ballad, starring Paul Rudd — a surreal reflection of how this real-life experience has entered music folklore. But this episode is not about bitterness — it’s about perspective, growth, and meaning. Jim, Philip, and Ray explore: * The true story behind the writing of “Angels” * How creative contributions can be lost within the music industry * Why publishing and songwriting credits matter more than most artists realise * The idea of songs as living, evolving entities * Letting go, surrender, and the deeper meaning behind “Angels” * Music as a time machine for memory and emotion * Synchronicity, intuition, and the “world behind the world” Ray also opens up about: * Navigating the fallout of losing recognition on a global hit * How his story has resonated with countless artists in similar situations * New legal developments that could potentially reshape the outcome * Building a new life in Italy and creating a unique system of teaching language through music This is a conversation about truth, authorship, legacy, and the cost of creativity. A must-listen for any artist, songwriter, or creative navigating the modern music industry. ⸻ 🎧 Listen now on: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts ⸻ 🔑 Keywords (SEO) Ray Heffernan Angels story, Power Ballad movie Paul Rudd, who wrote Angels Robbie Williams, songwriting credit dispute, music industry cautionary tale, songwriting rights, publishing rights music, Temple Barred Podcast, Irish musicians, Dublin music scene, songwriter rights, music business truth, independent artists, creative ownership ⸻ 📱 Follow & Connect * 🎙️ Podcast: @templebarredpod * 🎤 Jim Win: @jimwinmusic * 🎧 Philip Noone: @philipnoone * 🎼 Ray Heffernan: @rayheffernan ⸻ 🔥 Hashtags #TempleBarredPodcast #RayHeffernan #Angels #PowerBallad #PaulRudd #SongwritingCredits #MusicIndustryTruth #SongwriterRights #PublishingMatters #IrishMusic #MusicPodcast #IndependentArtists #CreativeOwnership #PodcastIreland

    The Landslide: Why Everything Is Changing (And You Can’t Stop It)

    Episode 71 of the Temple Barred Podcast dives deep into “The Landslide” — a powerful conversation about change, relationships, ego, and the rapidly shifting world around us. Inspired by the meaning behind Fleetwood Mac’s iconic song Landslide, Jim Wynne and Philip Noone explore what happens when life, love, and identity begin to shift beneath your feet. Why do we hold on to things that are meant to change? Why do we repeat the same relationship patterns? And why does the modern world feel like it’s constantly collapsing and rebuilding at the same time? From personal stories about love, commitment, and self-sabotage… to deep reflections on ego, narcissism, and emotional growth… to global conversations about politics, division, and the state of the world… This episode connects it all. Topics include: * The real meaning behind “Landslide” and fear of change * Why relationships evolve (and often fall apart) * Self-sabotage, commitment issues & repeating patterns * Ego, narcissism & seeing yourself through others * Growing up in chaos vs stability * Why people cling to being “right” * Love vs fear as a guiding principle * The world’s current “landslide” — politics, culture & truth * Finding balance between logic and spirituality * Letting go, surrendering, and moving forward Plus: * Real-life gig disasters (including guitar failure mid-performance) * Funny live music stories from the road * A preview of next week’s special guest — Ray Heffernan (co-writer of Angels) If you’ve ever: * Struggled to let go of a relationship * Felt stuck in repeating patterns * Questioned what’s real in today’s world * Or felt like everything is changing too fast… This episode is for you.

    Crazy World: Protests, Prague , Trump, Fuel Prices & Finding Peace | Temple Barred Podcast Ep.70

    In Episode 70 of the Temple Barred Podcast, Jim Wynne and Philip Noone return after a short break to a world that feels like it’s completely flipped upside down.
