Andrew De Silva

from Tight Forty Five · host Darius Mendoza

Andrew De Silva and his band CDB were pioneers when it came to breaking in RnB onto the radio waves in the early nineties to Australia. De Silva’s creative choices as an artist and his courage to bleed his heart on stage is a gift and rare commodity that Aussies should to pay homage to. His life story reads like an epic movie with radical highs and lows, from dealing with cancer whilst in the midst of a breakup with both his band and girlfriend. Andrew discusses with Darius how it was having a stifling stutter whilst having to talk on national T.V as he fought to win Australia’s Got Talent.

Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast Candlelit Tales We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this. Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories Explicit
