Episode 13 finds lucky me talking to Justin Kelly and David Meagher from Sons of Southern Ulster, premium purveyors of angular, guitar-driven tales of growing up in Bailieboro, Co. Cavan in the 70s & 80s. The pints may have been watered down but life was full and rich for a young one back then, consisting of a marvellously unhealthy diet of Cavan Cola, clatterings, fags and Taytos while imbibing the effects of religion, regret, corruption and emigration.
David & Justin are generous with their time and their stories and coupled with a great selection of tracks, it's a compelling listen.
The Sons are on Facebook, Bandcamp and have their own website
The Cork compilation album is Kaught at the Kampus
The documentary David mentions is here
