Fields of Dreams- a new podcast on Ireland's music industry- out now

vendredi 27 juin 2025 • Durée 01:57

In 1970s Ireland, the nation's youth were craving an escape - and music was going to provide it.

Over the course of the next few decades, what had been a gigging backwater was transformed into the centre of the live entertainment universe.

Narrated by singer songwriter Róisín O, this 10-part series chronicles the rise of the festival and the extraordinary local scene that saw many Irish acts touch greatness.

With stories equally hilarious and infuriating, it's a portrait of success and failure and everything in between.

Episodes released weekly.

From the producers of the Stardust Tragedy, the Kinahans, This Is Your LOIfe and This Is Robert.
