Summary

This week, one of the most talked about Irish musical talents Róisín O joined Jarlath for a fascinating and heartbreaking conversation about her life and career to date. Róisín explains her creative response to the pandemic during her time spent in lockdown in Kerry, her approach to life and her renewed focus on cutting unsupportive people out of her life. Róisín opens up about how she misses the stage, her imposter syndrome with songwriting and how she finds the lack of a clear roadmap for the live entertainment industry 'terrifying.'
