Irish Songwriters Podcast

The Irish Songwriters Podcast is back... and this time... it's personal. No, really, it is. I was recently namechecked and somewhat misrepresented on a very popular podcast and this is my reply. During an interview, Robbie Williams told a version of a story that involves me and, for whatever reason, he ommitted a few important details that I feel are pivotal, so I took the opportunity to tell the full story. Normal service for the Irish Songwriters Podcast will resume in due time.

On May 18th, the anniversary of his hero, Chris Cornell, Andrew Mann died by his own hand after a very difficult few months. A participant and contributor to this podcast, he was a compelling writer, tireless performer and an incredibly talented vocalist. Above all of this, he was an absolute gentleman and will be sadly missed by any and everyone who had the luck to meet him. This is a short tribute, a collection of his songs about love and his thoughts about life. Get some rest, Buddy.
