Felip Carbonell
In The Lamplight
11/18/20 • 71 min
Kieran dives straight into the chat with a story about how he and his wife almost moved their family abroad a number of years ago before asking Luke and Rory if they had ever had any similar intentions or ideas, leading Rory to reveal a fantasy.
The guys welcome Felip Carbonell to the podcast to talk about his journeys musical and geographical. Felip takes us through his childhood on his native Island of Majorca which, at the time, was still under the rule of General Franco. Hear how Franco's rule and the protest-songwriting movement it inspired was hugely impactful on Felip as a teenager.
Asked by Kieran about how he came to live in Ireland, Felip tells Kieran about forming a connection with Sligo through Irish band Dervish, a connection that eventually led him to meet his wife and leave Majorca's sunny beaches for Sligo's windy shores. Felip recalls a good friend of his that sadly passed away in early 2020 and tells several stories about how his friend helped him in both his personal life and in his music career.
Over the course of the episode, Felip performs three pieces of music. The first is an original composition originally written and performed with a band while he was still living in Majorca. The song is called "Fer Cantó". Next up is an instrumental version of "Misty", a classic jazz standard. Finally, we have another original composition called "Entre Tu I Jo".
The lads wrap up the episode by reflecting on their session with Felip. Rory poses a question to Kieran before the guys read out some more of the feedback they've received from listeners.
Niamh Crowley
In The Lamplight
11/04/20 • 72 min
Kieran, Rory and Luke open with a discussion on abrupt changes in career direction and Kieran asks the lads if they had always wanted to be doing what they currently do. Kieran welcomes Niamh to the podcast to tell her story including how she made her own career pivot following a realisation in her early twenties that didn't want to continue going down the path she was on. Hear about how her life has been shaped by music since the age of five, how she trained to become one of Ireland's premiere violinists as well as an extremely accomplished pianist, and how she came to settle back in Sligo where she established the Sligo Academy of Music. Niamh performs three pieces of music on the violin throughout the podcast accompanied by Kieran on the piano. The first is a piece called 'Csárdás' by Italian composer Vittorio Monti. The piece, a rite of passage for aspiring violinists, holds a nostalgic place in Niamh's heart as she performed it on the The Late Late Toy Show as a twelve-year-old child. She follows this with a composition of her own called 'Glór Shligigh (The Glory of Sligo)' before finishing with an instrumental arrangement of 'Don't Leave Me This Way', a song recorded by various artists including Thelma Houston and the Communards. The lads then reflect on their chat with Niamh before addressing the fact that they may have ruffled the feathers of another Sligo-based podcasting team.

Moments - A Lamplight Original
In The Lamplight
05/12/21 • 55 min
In The Lamplight brings you its first original song, titled "Moments". Join Kieran, Luke and Rory as they discuss the creation and development of the song. Hear about where the initial idea and melody came from, how the lyrics were written, the attempts that were made to steer the song in a different direction over fears that it was "too musical theatre" and more. The lads talk about the way that different instruments and performance styles were used to give the song its final form. Rory discusses the shooting of the music video, giving us an insight into his approach to the shoot, the intent behind the video, and some of the creative decisions he made during the editing process to make sure the video reinforced the songs' lyrics and meaning.
Ringo, Ian Dempsey & Cliff-Jumping
In The Lamplight
10/13/21 • 53 min
Kieran, Luke & Rory kick of season three by adding a fourth member to their team, the Ringo to their John, Paul and George. Mícheál Kearney comes on board to join the lads in all of their general craic, and also to host a weekly segment called "Mícheál On The Streets". This week, Mícheál has been out talking to people in the crowd at the "Music's Coming Home" outdoor gig in Sligo town. Kieran and Luke were involved in one of the gigs and Mícheál asks them for their favourite moments.
This week's special guest is Ian Dempsey. Ian chats to Kieran and Mícheál about his career highlights including Dempsey's Den, his long-running breakfast show on Today FM, Gift Grub, the ever-changing role of the radio DJ, and his love for David Bowie. Ian's choice of song, to be performed by the In The Lamplight House Band, is Paul Brady's "Crazy Dreams".
The lads introduce another new segment called "Rory Recommends". Each week, Rory will recommend a new movie, some new music, or maybe a new experience. This week, Rory took the team cliff jumping. Have a listen to see how they got on!
Johnny Gallagher and the Boxty Band
In The Lamplight
06/02/21 • 60 min
Johnny Gallagher, Pauric Gallagher and Seán O'Reilly (three quarters of the Boxty Band) join us for an absolutely rocking episode of In The Lamplight to wrap up season two. Hear the lads tell stories from the road, and talk about their experiences playing gigs from arenas to cow sheds.
The lads play a set with all of the trademark wildfire energy of a live Boxty show. They start with Johnny's trademark version of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" before belting out two originals, "The Loser" and "Mr. George". The set also features Kieran on keys and Duane Gallagher on bass.
Mark Kennedy
In The Lamplight
11/25/20 • 74 min
Luke opens the show with an update on the lads' ongoing legal troubles resulting from their accidental infringement on the intellectual property of Mark Kennedy and Ray McAndrew of 'The Kendy & Raybo Podcast'.
Mark Kennedy (also known as Kendy) joins the lads as their guest and wastes no time generating an atmosphere of absolute craic, while Kieran wastes no time asking Mark his first question...was the foundation of his music career built on a lie? Mark speaks of his experiences with his first band, 'Lick My Stereo', and tells us how he ended up moving to Sligo.
We get Mark's views on his own musicality and strengths as a live performer. He tells us what he believes is important when it comes to playing live music and how he goes about injecting fun into his live performances by engaging with his audience.
The lads discuss Mark's own podcast which he produces with co-host Ray McAndrew (also known as Raybo). Mark takes us through the origins of their podcast, their approach to podcasting and the vibe that they set out to create each time they record an episode. The guys chat about a prank that was pulled on Mark during Kieran Quinn's Theme Night #25 - The Bee Gees and the Disco Era.
Mark performs three songs during the course of the show, playing acoustic guitar on two and playing bass on the third. The first song is the Beatles' classic, 'The Ballad of John and Yoko', a staple of Lick My Stereo's early gig sets. The song features Mark on acoustic guitar and vocals, Kieran on piano and Luke on bass guitar and backing vocals. The second song is called 'Ode to an Instagram Young One', an original of Mark's that contains his observations on a certain demographic of social media influencers and prolific Instagram posters. The song features the same lineup as the first number. Finally, the guy's perform 'September' by Earth, Wind & Fire with Mark on bass guitar and vocals, Kieran on keys and Luke on acoustic guitar and backing vocals.
Kieran, Luke and Rory wrap up the episode with some thoughts on their session with Mark.
