Special guest this week is Fergal Nash.

Fergal Nash
is a songwriter who hails from Kilcornan, Co. Limerick near the beautiful forest park of Curraghchase. Having developed his playing and performing skills in a covers band called Nemesis at his secondary school of Copsewood College Pallaskenry, in the last decade or so he has emerged as a solo artists of renown, gaining plaudits in publications as respected as Hot Press magazine and Radio stations such as Limerick’s Live 95 FM (where he has also performed live). He has also secured support slots with local and national established artists such as Theme Tuned Boy and Jinx Lennon, and is a regular live performer in the Limerick/mid west region. His style is based on catchy guitar driven pop/rock songs along with more stripped back acoustic numbers, influences including the Manic Street Preachers, Teenage Fanclub and Josh Ritter. He tries to say something with his lyrics without being too complicated. He is currently working on his debut album which is due for release later this year. He will be joined in this performance for a few numbers by the brilliant Ennistymon based guitar maestro himself, Englishman Chris Wood.
