Episode 29: Dave King (Flogging Molly)

Welcome to Episode 29 with this festive Punks In Pubs special.

Liam talks to the Flogging Molly ringmaster; Dave King.

Dave kindly gave up some of his time, even though he was feeling a little under the weather (heads up, you can hear him chewing on a throat sweet at the start - so if that kind of sensual noise isn't your thing then maybe skip the first few moments of the pod).

It wouldn't be Christmas without presents, and booze. Liam brings both.

Liam and Dave talk Punk Rock, and Dave talks about one of his music heroes Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners.

Dave talks about moving to L.A. and then finding himself becoming an illegal immigrant. This kept him in America for eight years and unable to see his mum - Dave shares a heartbreaking story on the subject matter.

You will also hear Liam and Dave discussing Frank Turner, Warp Tour and playing in Ireland for the first time.

They, of course, talk Flogging Molly, Flogging Molly's Salty Dog Cruise (Punks in Pubs may or may not be going on ) and we talk a little politics as well.

Playing out the show this week is Buenos Aires Folk punk artists Billordo, worth a listen so stick around to the end for that.
