Paul Page – Whipping Boy
“I have done a lot of interviews recently, but this was one of the most interesting. Paul knew stuff about the band that I didn’t even know”
Steve Wall – The Stunning
“Paul really has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Irish music scene from the late 80’s onwards. Check out some of the albums listed. What an amazing resource for future generations!”
David Long – Into Paradise
”It’s a brilliant podcast, well researched and still has that punk DIY spirit about it. Some smart radio station should try and find a free 75 minutes once a month and and start broadcasting it from Episode 1.”
Michael Murphy – Lecturer on the Music Industry at IADT: Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology
“I love this series, I am learning so much about acts and albums I thought I knew!”
