That's so cool, what an amazing woman!

I made this episode all about the song The Greenland Whale Fishery last year just before I fulfilled a lifelong not-even-a-dream-because-its-too-mad and sang it with the Pogues in the 3 Arena. Listen to it at all the usual places (but not Slopify please) and enjoy! X

Fire Draw Near Episode XIV Fire Draw Near Episode XIV is a Shitfaced Christmas Extravaganza Bonanza! Featuring the amazing tale of the Donegal Tarantella, me doing a Felix Doran but its Iron Maiden, more bad language than usual

69, LXIX or تسعة وستون is a number symbolising completion, harmony and the beginning of new cycles. It is also the number of the FDN episode that I have just uploaded. It is dedicated to the memory of Margaretta D'Arcy who sadly passed away last month. Rest in Power. X campsite.bio/firedrawnear

My first fall read is "A Lush and Seething Hell" (2019) by @johnhornor.bsky.social

I put it on my TBR after I heard Ian Lynch talk about it on @firedrawnear.bsky.social last year, not really knowing what to expect.

My GOD, is it good. Disturbing. Carnal. Can't put it down.
