TPOE 188: Ian Lynch (Lankum/Fire Draw Near)

Ian Lynch discusses Lankum's year, from playing sold-out shows at Vicar Street to winning the Choice Prize to touring the US... and then having to use a big chunk of the €10,000 Choice winnings to get back to Ireland when Covid-19 hit. The lockdown helped him delve deeper into his Fire Draw Near podcast, which explored the world of folk and trad music. He's in the midst of a three-part podcast on The Wild Rover. We talk about all this and more in this interview. You can support Ian and Fire Draw Near at patreon.com/firedrawnear
