I WAS in Donegal for a long weekend last month. Back to my ‘spiritual home.’ The place I go to decompress and recharge the aul batteries. While I was there, I was reading a lot of John O’Donohue, in particular a piece he wrote about death, and it resonated with me on a deep level because my time there coincided with the funeral of the ‘First Lady of Celtic music,’ Moya Brennan.

THIS month’s feature is a very special one for me, because I’m thrilled to announce that 20th Century Paddy: A Star-Studded Tribute to Shane MacGowan will be released in November of this year
