00:16:16,768 --> 00:16:19,104
he moved over here and I stayed
in London with my mother.

184
00:16:30,865 --> 00:16:32,617

He says, "Here's a whistle,
and here's a book."

187
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:39,207
So I taught myself basically.

188
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:41,960
And then when I had about
a tune and a half,

189
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:47,298
I started going to sessions
when I was over in London

190
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:51,177
and there was a great fella
by the name of, uh, John Curtin.

191
00:16:51,219 --> 00:16:54,055
And his advice to me was,
even if you only know two bars

192
00:16:54,097 --> 00:16:56,516
of a tune, when you hear
the tune being played,

193
00:16:56,558 --> 00:16:58,393
play the two bars you know,

194
00:16:58,435 --> 00:17:00,228

would build up.

{\an8}I did grades, I did up to
about grade six or grade seven.

339
00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:10,119
And then of course, as per usual
with me, I kind of dropped out.

340
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,039
I dropped outta school
when I was 15 and I met Davoc.

341

And I didn't play or sing music.

342

around music.

happy that I was into

346
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:35,561
{\an8}music and into sounds,
but I think they were slightly

347
00:31:35,603 --> 00:31:38,063
{\an8}concerned about the--
the extent of the pull of it.

348
00:31:39,106 --> 00:31:41,317
You know, because you really
should go to university.

349
00:31:41,358 --> 00:31:43,485
You really should do blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.

My mother became a widow at 33.

351
00:32:02,212 --> 00:32:03,422
She was about survival.

352
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:07,134
The idea of a--
14-year-old kid

353
00:32:07,176 --> 00:32:08,844
who's spending way too much time

354
00:32:08,886 --> 00:32:11,263
in his bedroom with a guitar,
writing songs.

355
00:32:11,305 --> 00:32:13,265
The idea that he was
ever going to make a living

356
00:32:13,307 --> 00:32:17,603
from doing that was so alien
to her, was alien to me.

357
00:32:17,645 --> 00:32:19,730
But it was doubly alien to her.

358
00:32:19,772 --> 00:32:22,107
And so it came from
that just concern,

359
00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:23,942
how is this kid
going to survive?

360
00:32:23,984 --> 00:32:27,112
And for the next 15 years,
I kinda pretty much proved

361
00:32:27,154 --> 00:32:29,114
that she was right
to think like that.

{\an8}I had this conversation
with Luka Barry

00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,204
{\an8}my brother, Barry Luka,
also known as Luka Bloom.

383

it with you singing song then?

Why don't you sing?
You have a great voice."

385
00:34:45,959 --> 00:34:48,587
And I said, "I don't really
know, Barry." And I-I didn't.

386
00:34:48,629 --> 00:34:50,881
And I suppose I got into
the habit of not singing.

387
00:34:51,673 --> 00:34:54,051
So, um, he says, "You know,
you have a great voice

388
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:55,844
and you really
should be singing.

389
00:34:55,886 --> 00:34:58,388
And you must remember
that when you're singing a song,

390
00:34:59,139 --> 00:35:00,766
you're delivering a message."

391
00:35:02,518 --> 00:35:05,896
And that just flipped
my world around. Oh my God.

392
00:35:06,355 --> 00:35:08,357
A couple of days later,
he came into the house carrying

393
00:35:08,398 --> 00:35:11,318
the guitar and said to me,
"I'm not giving you this.

394

I'm loaning you this
for 50 years on conditioned

395

And I do.

396
00:35:16,573 --> 00:35:18,200
So now you can't shut me up.

397

401

I don't even know that word
into my mind anymore.

like I'm 70.

Anne Rynne started playing
the guitar when she was

407
00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:51,316
in her early 60's

Sometimes here the-- you know
what we'd have people in and--

410
00:35:58,282 --> 00:36:00,701
and the conversation would be
getting very hot and heavy.

411
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:02,411
And I'd say, "Oh, lads,
for heaven's sake."

412
00:36:02,452 --> 00:36:04,288
And I'd pick up the guitar
and I'd sing a song.

you can say things in songs that

I'd love to do it full-time.

497
00:42:03,563 --> 00:42:05,774
'Cause I just love--
I love playing.

I love everything about it.

for people who just say,

500
00:42:10,904 --> 00:42:14,532
I'm gonna go
and do that full-time.

501
00:42:14,574 --> 00:42:16,910
I'm a single mom and
I'm rearing my daughter here.

that security otherwise

00:42:19,788 --> 00:42:21,581
the mortgage doesn't get paid.

504
00:42:21,623 --> 00:42:23,833
And, you know,
it's not feasible for me

00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:27,087
to go out four or five nights
a week 'cause I have her.

making faces at me.

it's like something is
unfinished.

you and you want to just do it

You know, it's-- it's a--

Gavin, uh, and Killian.

going to America.

I was at home and I was
thinking, wow, like,

585
00:48:04,757 --> 00:48:06,718
when I was younger,

586
00:48:06,759 --> 00:48:09,554
one of my favorite songs was
"City of Chicago."

And we had been practicing it
at his house.

588

Suddenly realized like,
Jesus, man,

one of my favorite songs
when I was a kid was that song.

And now I'm sitting in
the guy's kitchen singing it

Wouldn't it be great to
write something that's gonna be

to college,

611
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,920
one of our modules was
songwriting.

612
00:50:48,921 --> 00:50:53,092
The first assignment that we had
was to write a blues song.

613
00:50:54,260 --> 00:50:57,180
And, uh,
I guess I didn't really know

614
00:50:57,221 --> 00:51:01,476
anybody else in the class
and so I wrote like a joke song.

615
00:51:02,393 --> 00:51:07,523
So it was-- it was blues
and it was sort of sad,

616
00:51:08,191 --> 00:51:12,445
but it was also done
in a kind of a humorous way.

617
00:51:12,487 --> 00:51:15,823
Like, that was just my way of
just kind of hiding.

618

00:55:55,352 --> 00:55:57,396
Is that genuine?
Is it--" you know,

663
00:55:57,438 --> 00:56:01,192
and then like, feeling like crap
for two or three days,

664
00:56:01,233 --> 00:56:03,527
waiting for the weekend
to come along.

665
00:56:03,569 --> 00:56:06,238
I'd love to be that girl
that could drink her ten pints

666
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,700
and it'd have no effect and have
great crack and not get down.

667
00:56:09,742 --> 00:56:12,119
And I'd only love
to be able to do it.

668
00:56:12,161 --> 00:56:15,498
But I-I wasn't any more
for a finish. Do you know?

669
00:56:15,539 --> 00:56:18,375
I was often ended up crying
at the end of the night.

670
00:56:18,417 --> 00:56:20,961
"No one will give me a gig.
I'm no good on the whistle.

671
00:56:21,003 --> 00:56:22,379
I'm blah--" you know.

672
00:56:23,255 --> 00:56:25,382
And one night I heard
myself and I was like,

673
00:56:25,424 --> 00:56:28,594
"Oh, God,
I wouldn't give me a gig."

674
00:56:28,636 --> 00:56:30,679
[laughing] Do you know?

675
00:56:35,309 --> 00:56:36,811
I was in counseling again.

676
00:56:36,852 --> 00:56:38,437
You would be there quite a bit.

677
00:56:38,479 --> 00:56:40,397
And she kinda said,
"Now, do you drink much?"

678
00:56:42,149 --> 00:56:46,654
I says, "Eh, not really.
I don't drink during the week.

679
00:56:46,695 --> 00:56:48,405
Like, I don't drink at home,
but I go out

680
00:56:48,447 --> 00:56:50,407
and I'll have a few scoops,
uh, at the weekend."

681
00:56:50,449 --> 00:56:52,201
And she says,
"How many scoops is a few?"

682
00:56:52,243 --> 00:56:57,373
And I was like, "Eh, so,
we have about ten pints,

683
00:56:57,414 --> 00:56:59,083
uh, Friday night.

684
00:56:59,125 --> 00:57:02,753
And sure then if we'd go out
during Saturday,

685
00:57:03,587 --> 00:57:06,173
we'd probably have-- nearly
have 15, 20 pints that day."

686
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:07,883
Is when she was like--

687
00:57:08,968 --> 00:57:13,222
[Kieran] It stems from culture
steeped in kinda drug abuse.

688
00:57:13,264 --> 00:57:15,015
Like, you know.

689
00:57:15,057 --> 00:57:17,810
And I'm talking mostly
about alcohol, like,

690
00:57:18,602 --> 00:57:22,731
and it being totally okay
to be a fully-fledged alcoholic.

691
00:57:22,773 --> 00:57:25,192
People they don't know,
including myself,

692
00:57:25,234 --> 00:57:27,778
how do you deal with
sort of mental health issues.

693
00:57:27,820 --> 00:57:29,697
Like, if somebody's
physically sick,

694
00:57:29,738 --> 00:57:31,949
you can help 'em out,
comfort 'em,

695
00:57:31,991 --> 00:57:35,703
or give them a glass
of water or something, you know?

696
00:57:35,744 --> 00:57:39,165
But, uh,
it comes to mental illness,

697
00:57:39,206 --> 00:57:44,295
it's-- it's a tough one
because most of the time here

698
00:57:44,336 --> 00:57:46,005
people avoid it like the plague.

699
00:57:46,797 --> 00:57:48,883
The generation before me,
you would never,

700
00:57:48,924 --> 00:57:50,426
ever talk about it.

701
00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:52,386
You just have to live with it.

702
00:57:52,428 --> 00:57:55,931
Like, uh, it was just like,
the attitude towards a lot of

703
00:57:55,973 --> 00:57:59,560
things is you just
don't talk about it, you know?

704
00:58:34,094 --> 00:58:37,223
[Anne] For the last ten years
or so since the crash, really,

705
00:58:37,264 --> 00:58:40,267
we've had an awful lot
of suicides in this area and,

706
00:58:40,309 --> 00:58:44,146
uh, it's, uh, deeply
disturbing and deeply troubling.

707
00:58:44,939 --> 00:58:47,691
And, um,
I was at such a funeral one day

708
00:58:47,733 --> 00:58:49,777
and sitting beside
a woman who's had suicide.

709
00:58:49,818 --> 00:58:52,529
And then as people are
going up and down to communion,

710
00:58:52,571 --> 00:58:55,366
I counted about ten women
that I recognized

711
00:58:55,407 --> 00:58:57,868
who'd had suicides
in their family, I mean.

712
00:58:57,910 --> 00:58:59,912
{\an8}[nostalgic music playing]

713
00:59:18,889 --> 00:59:20,557
It's a very lonely place.

714
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:25,020
I know a lot of musicians
are very empathic people.

715
00:59:28,232 --> 00:59:30,192
I just think we need to just go,
do you know what,

716
00:59:30,234 --> 00:59:32,111
if you have depression,
there's nothing wrong with you.

717
00:59:32,152 --> 00:59:33,779
It's all right that
you feel like that.

718
00:59:35,030 --> 00:59:39,535
Because there's plenty others
that are in a similar situation.

719
00:59:39,576 --> 00:59:41,662
Like, I could take to the bed
for two or three days

720
00:59:41,704 --> 00:59:47,751
and I'd be-- I wouldn't be
into talking to anyone.

721
00:59:47,793 --> 00:59:49,503
Or when you're there, you just--

722
00:59:49,545 --> 00:59:51,463
but you just have to ride it
out, you know?

723
00:59:52,298 --> 00:59:55,175
I know from experience now it's
not going to last, you know.

724
00:59:55,217 --> 00:59:56,844
In fact,
things are a lot better since

725
00:59:56,885 --> 00:59:58,595
I give up to drink,
but that's my own stuff.

726
01:00:01,181 --> 01:00:04,101
When somebody is sick or when
they're dying, then you realize

727
01:00:04,143 --> 01:00:06,228
that it is actually a family,
community, family kind of thing.

728
01:00:06,645 --> 01:00:08,480
You don't think about it
if something happens

729
01:00:08,522 --> 01:00:10,024
and you realize we're part of
something, all right.

730
01:00:10,566 --> 01:00:13,736

[Katie] Music has brought me
through kind of probably

744
01:01:35,859 --> 01:01:38,821
the worst stages of my life,
to be honest.

745
01:01:38,862 --> 01:01:41,365
Whether it be listening to it or
playing it or singing it out.

746
01:01:41,990 --> 01:01:45,244
Um, without it,
I don't think

747
01:01:45,285 --> 01:01:47,121
I'd be here

["Week After Easter"]

749
01:03:30,807 --> 01:03:35,395
[music continues]

750
01:03:43,487 --> 01:03:45,447
[indistinct] about
two years ago.

751
01:03:45,489 --> 01:03:48,033
And the nerves were there again.

752
01:03:48,075 --> 01:03:49,952
Once I gave up drinking,
I was thinking,

753
01:03:49,993 --> 01:03:52,162
"I'll go to these little
quiet sessions and I'll just do

754
01:03:52,204 --> 01:03:54,039
my own thing and I'll go
away home again," you know?

755
01:03:54,081 --> 01:03:56,625
But I got a new whistle and,
uh, I fell in love with

756
01:03:56,667 --> 01:03:58,502
this whistle and I was like,
"Well, I have to drive--

757
01:03:58,544 --> 01:04:00,796
I have to test drive this
whistle." So I was like, right.

758
01:04:01,672 --> 01:04:06,802
Deep breath and sat there
and played for 14 hours.

759
01:04:06,843 --> 01:04:08,637
And I left that night.

760
01:04:08,679 --> 01:04:11,431
I didn't even think about
drink and it was such a buzz.

761
01:04:11,473 --> 01:04:13,892
And I got into the car
and I drove out of Milltown

762
01:04:13,934 --> 01:04:15,769
with such a massive smile.
I was like,

763
01:04:15,811 --> 01:04:18,897
"It's all right.
I can actually do this."

764
01:04:22,276 --> 01:04:25,070
[Eoin] So many of us have been
waiting for-- for so long

765
01:04:25,112 --> 01:04:29,074

Katie Theasby, her new album

766
01:04:29,116 --> 01:04:35,038

<i> It-- it-- that can be hard.</i>

774
01:04:49,595 --> 01:04:52,222
[Katie] When my dad died,
I was actually in counseling

775
01:04:52,264 --> 01:04:54,600
at the time because I found
I wasn't crying and I wasn't--

776
01:04:54,641 --> 01:04:57,352
I was just putting up a wall,
you know?

777
01:04:57,394 --> 01:04:59,646
And she said, "You know,
just to mind yourself

778
01:04:59,688 --> 01:05:02,107
because it might hit you
like a train one day."

779
01:05:02,149 --> 01:05:05,319
And she says,
"Do-- do a few things that you--

780
01:05:05,861 --> 01:05:08,655
that you feel might,
you know, help you kinda grieve

781
01:05:08,697 --> 01:05:11,617
a little bit and start
that part of the process going."

782
01:05:11,658 --> 01:05:13,619
And so I'd say for a few months,

783
01:05:13,660 --> 01:05:15,996
I used to go out at lunchtime
when I used to sit in the car.

784
01:05:16,622 --> 01:05:20,292
You know, Paddy Keenan
and The Piper he has a slow air.

It's called Johnny's--
"Johnny's Tune, For The Avalon."

786
01:05:23,962 --> 01:05:26,798
And it is amazing.

787
01:05:27,424 --> 01:05:30,761
It starts off-- it starts
off on the low D whistle

788
01:05:31,219 --> 01:05:34,389
and it's just really
haunting and beautiful

789
01:05:34,431 --> 01:05:36,933
and let's just think
this is something else.

790
01:05:36,975 --> 01:05:39,853
And then just when you think
it can't get any better,

791
01:05:39,895 --> 01:05:42,481
the pipes kick in and they just
like flour you.
