QUESTION: Name the band that Blindboy is most closely associated with.
Blindboy’s increased notability away from his band Rubberbandits, has allowed him to explore wider avenues and create perhaps outrageously mind-altering brainchildren which can only be described as courageous, yet bonkers. With a number one selling book under his belt and a podcast that has reached interest not only in Ireland but internationally, the satirist could possibly single-handedly change people’s mind-set on mental health and the deafening stigma which surrounds it.
Outspoken, informed and empathetic, Blindboy engages his audience with an unusual touch of realism. There is a very authentic feeling of “freedom” he exhudes which allows his listeners and participants to openly speak their mind without judgement and no topic off limits – certainly an air of belonging encircling the space you find yourself in when listening or in company of Blindboy.
His latest innovative creation, The Blindboy podcast not only indoctrinates mental health issues but reaches further into a wide spectrum of current topics, may it be gun laws, feminism, racism or a bit of history. Blindboy has it covered.
Blindboy Live Podcast Show joins the Sligo Live line-up which includes The Coronas, Jools Holland and his 23-piece Rhythm & Blues Orchestra (with special guest Eddi Reader), John Bishop, and Bell X1’s Paul Noonan.
Also on the programme for the festival, running from 18th – 28th October, are The Indigo Girls and Lucy Wainwright Roche, The Delines and Café Spice, Willie Watson and Niamh Farrell, Kevin Burke, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Brave Giant, Wild Youth and All Tvvins with special guests Somebody’s Child.
Tickets are on sale from Sligolive.ie or from Hawk’s Well Theatre by phone (071) 9161518 or in person
