It’s All Music

Roger Ryan

Ep. 56
•

No Carey on this episode unfortunately. He's an awful busy man, in serious high demand - for what...we're not sure but he couldn't meet last week with the result of Henny & Quirky being at a loose end. The mics were in the car, so decided they'd try get an interview with one of East Cork's busiest musicians, a man they've being trying to catch for an interview for a while.


They made a last minute call to that man, that man answered...they asked was he free and up for an interview, they said they’d call to him, and he said "come on over, I'm in the shed!"


This week's episode see's the lads sit down with East Cork based musician, drummer & percussionist Roger Ryan.


Roger welcomes the lads into his music mecca - his safe place, his haven "The Shed", but not just any shed! Walls covered in memorabilia, ticket stubs, posters, pictures, autograph books, musical scrap books, Roger shows the lads the whole lot and gives them an insight into how he got into music from an early age, the bands he's played with through the years and the different musical projects he's been involved in the years gone by and currently to this day.


Strap in for this on... a great interview with loads of chat, laughs, stories and music in between.


From Carey, Henny & Quirky @ IT'S ALL MUSIC - THANKS FOR LISTENING!
