In case you missed it.
Ireland’s poet anti-laureate Dave Lordan (he of aggro-lit bedrock The Bogman’s Cannon) has a new radio show, with newly-active online station Dublin Digital Radio, simply monikered The Pirate Show.
Writes himself:
An Alt.lit show with emphasis on the singing poet tradition then & now, live lit, performance, & spoken word/music crossovers in all their forms. For the first show I will be briefly interviewing Ewan McColl’s proud ghost, & talking in more detail to rebel writer Sorcha Fox.
Also featuring Conchúr Ó Ceallaigh, Olive Groove, Jinx Lennon, Sisterix, The Sons of Slum, Katie Freeney, The King Blues, The Dubtones, Kate Tempest, Rafeef Ziadah, Adrian Mitchell, Natasha Helen Crudden, Daniel Wade, Captain Moonlight, Jinx Lennon & Paula Flynn.
Tune in – great craic & inspiration guaranteed.
Avast, etc.
Did he moniker it that himself? If so he’s quite the monikerer
I only came across the station the other day and it’s an absolute cracker. It’s the first time I heard of Tuxedo moon. Good times.

Btw, anyone know what’s going on with PowerFM? Still alive?
why is that talent vacuum Jinx Lennon on twice? Or even at all? it’s a Dublin station yeah? Any possible credibility blown.
