I made this episode all about the song The Greenland Whale Fishery last year just before I fulfilled a lifelong not-even-a-dream-because-its-too-mad and sang it with the Pogues in the 3 Arena. Listen to it at all the usual places (but not Slopify please) and enjoy! X campsite.bio/firedrawnear

FDN LXIX wasn't very festive, so instead why not listen to my favourite ever episode, XIV from Christmas 5 years ago. I drank 10 bottles of very strong beer and got extremely shitfaced live on air. Happy Christmas!!! X soundcloud.com/firedrawnear...

Fire Draw Near Episode XIV

Fire Draw Near Episode XIV is a Shitfaced Christmas Extravaganza Bonanza! Featuring the amazing tale of the Donegal Tarantella, me doing a Felix Doran but its Iron Maiden, more bad language than usual

69, LXIX or تسعة وستون is a number symbolising completion, harmony and the beginning of new cycles. It is also the number of the FDN episode that I have just uploaded. It is dedicated to the memory of Margaretta D'Arcy who sadly passed away last month. Rest in Power. X campsite.bio/firedrawnear

My first fall read is "A Lush and Seething Hell" (2019) by @johnhornor.bsky.social I put it on my TBR after I heard Ian Lynch talk about it on @firedrawnear.bsky.social last year, not really knowing what to expect. My GOD, is it good. Disturbing. Carnal. Can't put it down.

As ever, fantastic show! I especially loved Cormac Begley & Liam O Connor's "Ryan's Rant" and Junior Brother's bloody brilliant "Welcome To My Mountain".

"ACAB" et "tout le monde déteste la police" marchent déjà très bien comme slogans mais rien n'empêche d'ajouter "Hey hey daloy politzei!" au répertoire. (Thanks to @firedrawnear.bsky.social for the discovery.)

FDN LX was recorded in a bedroom in a house in the 9th ward of New Orleans. Upon reflection it features many friends, peers and contemporaries, Leland Palmer, Ola Belle Reed and even Dickie Rock. It is online now. soundcloud.com/firedrawnear...
