Nollaig na mBan Make Me an Islander Special with Branwen
For the first show of 2021 Dónal is joined by Branwen for an illustrated guide to some inspirational female artists the world over as well as to hear some songs from her masterful solo record Hunted and Haunted. "As this is being released on Nollaig na mBan, I wanted to say that I think it's fantastic to take a moment to give the airspace to celebrating some amazing female artists and I'm delighted to contribute to it. I hope we can continue to move closer to a place of equality and equilibrium in the music industry for all genders and celebrate them in all genres. As my friend said when people kept telling her she was the best female banjo player they knew, "I'm actually the best banjo player you know". (Which is true!)"
