Colm will be performing along with Declan O’Rourke, Micheál O’Suilleabhain, Paul Howard, John O’Donnell, Mary Costello, Eavan Boland and more at the National Concert Hall in Dublin on 20 December.

Featuring an extraordinary array of Irish literary and musical talent.

Colm discusses the influence of “Fisherman’s Blues”
Today FM’s Fiachna Ó Braonáin hosts Poetic Champions Compose – a celebration of classic Irish albums ‘championed’ by Ireland’s leading contemporary artists.
Go here & jump down to the one with Paddy Casey talking about The Waterboys’ “Fisherman’s Blues”. The whole thing is really interesting, and Colm shows up around minute 34. Each of the shows is really cool actually, have a listen through when you’ve got the time.
