Eoin O Neill is a musician, radio presenter and podcaster. He came to Doolin for an afternoon forty years ago and has been living and breathing traditional music in Clare ever since. As Christy Moore said "There is no better person on Irish Radio for supporting our native music and song." Ive played in many of Eoins sessions and hes always exceptionally welcoming to newcomers and usually manages to find and encourage a song or a dance out of the listeners..

Through the Eoin O Neill podcast he has also sought out the lesser known stories in the music world and in his Clare FM radio shows is always giving a leg up to those who need it.

I chat to Eoin about the ups and downs of life as a musician, the self protection that's needed, the wild sessions of Doolin in the 70s and 80s where he learnt his craft

Carrying on from my last conversation with Nuala Kennedy we chat about his experiences of playing with Kitty Hayes, the concertina player from West Clare who kicked off her music career in her 70s.
