Stef Murphy FKA The Mighty Stef is launching a new Patreon-only podcast called Pub Songs From Ireland which was prompted by this Irish ballad trad-cover of the theme song from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, which is a bit gas now.
The podcast will be available on Patreon-only and Stef says:
The show will be presented by the enthusiastic ex-RTE DJ ‘Noel Fitzmulligan’ and his faithful producer Swash Buckley. The guests will be varied and engaging and the music will be plentiful. My influences in writing this included, Mulligan And O Hare, Athletico Mince, Henry Sellers, Alan Patridge, Monty Python and a bunch of other classic satire.
I can promise that if you don’t laugh with me you’ll laugh at me!
