We chat about his early life, his love of music, using the civil service to launch a freelance journalism career, his work in the music industry in A&R and press, being part of Rondo Mondo in the high-flying multimedia days of Eircom, as well as discussing how the various industries have changed and the challenges they face in the future. There’s also some really interesting stuff about working online, engaging with readers ‘below the fold’, and loads more.
