Hindsight – Season 1 Episode 6 – Elaine Mai

08/23/21 • 50 min

Elaine Mai is no stranger to success. Her most recent release ‘No Forever (feat. MayKay)’ garnered widespread acclaim and achieved 10 million impressions across Irish radio. It hit No.2 in the Irish Radio Breakers chart and peaked at No.6 in the Viral 50 Ireland Spotify chart.

Named a ‘vital Irish artist’ by Clash Magazine, Elaine Mai is just getting started. Her latest single 'Still Feel' with Ailbhe Reddy hints at what's to come on her hotly anticipated debut album due for release later this year. An advocate for gender equality and women’s rights, she is one of three artists representing Ireland with Keychange - an EU initiative working towards a total restructuring of the music industry to help reach full gender equality. She was also a featured singer on the No.1 single ‘Dreams’, the cover of The Cranberries’ hit by Irish Women in Harmony, which took the country by storm in 2020 and raised over €250,000 for anti-domestic violence charity SAFE Ireland. 2021 is shaping up to be a big year for this ever-evolving artist.

Vera Lawlor started as a student in Trinity College Dublin last week but her journey to Trinity has been far from conventional. Always a keen student who loved reading, she was fifteen years old she was told on a Friday afternoon that she'd be leaving school to start working the following Monday.

Late in 2019, her dear sister and best friend died. Not long after that, Covid-19 hit. A few months after the first lockdown, she retired from her thirty-year career as a doctor’s receptionist at a busy practice in Finglas, Dublin, and is now charting a new course and throwing out any ideas of quiet retirement.

More than 50 years after she left school, this inspirational mother of two and grandmother to three is finally walking through Front Arch as a Trinity College student.

In our conversation, we talked about family, work, grief, and her lifelong love of learning, just a few days after she officially embarked on her new life as a college student.
