Dara’s back with the final episode of The Greenlight Podcast, and he’s joined by internationally respected music photographer Ruth Medjber — the person behind the images that can define an era of Irish music.

Ruth chats about getting hooked at the all-ages Blast gigs, studying photography in DIT, “bullying” Hot Press into giving her a shot, and what it really takes to build a career when you’re paying your own way, shooting five gigs a week, and learning on the fly.

They also get into touring realities (Arcade Fire, Hozier), burnout, and the constant graft behind the glamour.

Plus: Ruth’s new daily portrait-and-interview project, “Sin Scéal Eile” (“that’s another story”) — an audio-visual census of the real Ireland.

Thanks to Ruth for coming in and be sure to join Dara and The Greenlight Podcast each week for the stories behind songs of some of your favourite acts all powered by Heineken Greenlight.

Dara’s back with another edition of The Greenlight Podcast, and this week he’s joined by the one and only MayKay - Fight Like Apes icon, solo artist, and long-running Other Voices presenter.

They get into the 20-years-later reality of Fight Like Apes: the chaos, the “little gangs” era of the Irish scene, why it all burned so bright, and what the industry didn’t know (or didn’t have) when it came to minding artists properly.

Plus: MayKay on learning how to interview, the art of leaving space, keeping the Foo Fighters secret in Dingle, and why live vocals still matter.

And she shares the work of Irish Artists for Palestine and how musicians can help in a smart, practical way.

Dara’s back with another edition of The Greenlight Podcast, and this week he’s joined by singer-songwriter Galia Arad — all the way from “over the pond”, but firmly part of the Irish music fabric after more than a decade here.

They chat about how a temporary trip turned into 13 years in Ireland, the New York years, the surreal chain of events that led to xcrossing paths with Shane MacGowan and, ultimately, touring as a support act with Jools Holland.

Plus: signing with Rhubarb Records, gig nerves, and Galia’s work in Oberstown using music and podcasting to create a safe space for young people.

Galia's latest single 'That Was That' is out now!
