The AAP - Eddi Reader

AAParmy Assemble! Don't you hear my call though you're many years away... The Absolutely Awesome Podcast is pushing 40... episodes, cheeky! And has a cold, but that hasn't stopped the awesome for one minute or taken anything away from our joy at talking to the magnificent Eddi Reader for this week's episode of the podcast. Eddi talks openly and candidly about her career to date, from singing in the tenement stairwells to the stages of the world, her experience as a session singer and working with Eurythmics and Alison Moyet, the meteoric rise and painful fallout of Fairground Attraction, and her enduring solo career. As well as that, we talk about independence, confidence and inspiration in a fantastic conversation with a genuine national treasure. Eddi returns to the stage for a nine-date tour of Ireland in February in support of her most recent album, Vagabond, and EP, Back The Dogs. All of the information about the dates - in Kilkenny, Mullingar, Sligo, Belfast, Dundalk, Dublin, Limerick, Skibbereen and Ballymaloe - and ticket links can be found at the gigs page on Eddi's website . She also heads out across the UK in a duo of tours that run throughout March and May this year, and again, all the details are on the gigs page . You can follow Eddi on Twitter at @eddireader , and she has a page on the Book Of Face at this link here . There is a whole host of information, latest news, gigs and more at Eddi's official website and on YouTube, there is a massive ocean of beautiful sound to dive into.
