Angela ScanlonEamonn Holmes, and Laura Whitmore will be chatting to Ryan Turbidly about what it is like to be an Irish entertainer on the London scene and why Irish voices have always been strongly represented on the British airwaves.  

On the more musical side of things, Imelda May and Finbar Furey will be talking about how they made it big on the British music scene. Boxer Barry McGuigan and former Republic of Ireland soccer manager Mick McCarthy will also be appearing on the series.

Ryan will be discussing the potential fall out from Brexit with politicians Alastair Campbell, Baroness Dee Doocey and former UKIP leader Nigel Farage – alongside economist, and Irish citizen, Liam Halligan.   

Then, there’s going to be the “Irish ceilí supergroup to end all Irish ceil supergroups” -with Andrea and Caroline Corr, The Chieftains’ Paddy Moloney, The Dubliners’ John Sheahan, Clannad’s Moya Brennan and John Spillane joining together for a special performance.
