TPOE 139: Mary Hickson (Sounds From A Safe Harbour)

Mary Hickson is the director of Sounds From A Safe Harbour festival, which returns to Cork city for its third edition from September 10-15, 2019, featuring the likes of Feist, Damien Rice, Efterklang, Thomas Bartlett and Caoimhin O Raghallaigh, and lots more. It's curated by Mary, alongside the Dessner brothers Aaron and Bryce, Enda Walsh and Cillian Murphy. I talked to Mary about the new Bon Iver album (she's worked with him on festivals and he appeared at Sounds From A Safe Harbour 2017), Cillian Murphy's musical potential, 37d03d festival in Berlin and beyond, and what to expect at Safe Harbour this year.
