Á Tea for Two with Jen Cloher

Welcome to the third episode of Á Tea For Two: A cuppa tea with two Creatives. This week Áine Tyrrell invites Jen Cloher in for a cuppa. I first met Jen when I shyly walked into her @imanagemymusic workshop many years ago and Jen is one of those people who set me on a path of independence and integrity. I admire Jen’s strength and curiosity in all I’ve seen since that first meeting. In that very first room we met in, Jen was holding space but also inquisitive to all the experience in the room and how we could all learn from each other. And in the years since, Jen has always been that kind of person in any room we have met in - houses, festivals, protests, and in Zoom Rooms - Jen has a way of connecting everyone together in a room and also pushing everyone to ask more questions and be more of ourselves. Jen inspires me greatly for all the questions posed inside, to the music community, and to society. A true thinker of our time and am honoured to be a friend. Jen's deepening of her understanding of what it has meant to be a Maoiri on stolen land has been a constant place we meet and find empowerment and conversation. As an Irish woman on stolen land, Jen is someone I can go deep into it with. I am grateful to have Jen as a sister on this journey. And I can’t wait to invite ye in to what our cups of tea are like.Support the show
