Could have sworn Dr. Cassidy had been on before.

Enjoyed the interview.

AMKC · 08-01-2022 11:02pm

Never heard of this fellow. Who is he? Awe OK so not very big or famous then.

TheRiverman · 08-01-2022 11:06pm

I'm sure he has a good tenor voice to be in Phantom Of The Opera etc.

Why?

Muahahaha · 08-01-2022 11:17pm

Ive a mate who works as a swing on Broadway and it is easily the hardest role in musical theatre. They have to remember the lines of several characters in the musical,all the songs and when they come in for their bit of singing and then all the dance moves and choreography on stage of each individual character.

On top of that they can be sitting at home and get two hours notice to do it all on stage that night. A good swing is invaluable to the whole production as they can cover several roles to make sure the show goes on no matter who calls in sick. They also get paid at a level very close to the lead actors, it can be lucrative but not that many musical actors have the memory or co-ordination to do it very well.

Game across very well, no bs with him, not my cuppa tea, but he's going well, would have liked to hear a song

Atlantic Dawn · 08-01-2022 11:27pm

Poor man, he's broken from losing his daughter, it's still so raw.

Be right back · 08-01-2022 11:28pm

Poor man. His poor daughter had no time at all in the end.

RobertKK · 08-01-2022 11:29pm

So much death in this interview.

castletownman · 08-01-2022 11:30pm

A very human reaction from Tommy.

Far removed from Tubridy.

JoeA3 · 08-01-2022 11:31pm

Poor Barry. That’s dreadful. It’s nice that Tommy is letting him speak uninterrupted.

The guy is one of those Irish sporting heroes some of us will all remember from our childhood.

AMKC · 08-01-2022 11:36pm

Jeez this is tough to watch. The poor man has had it very hard family wise with family dieing. Don't seem to have any luck. Even his Dad was young. Very sad about his daughter.

And to make matters worse he had the Kinahan cartel abusing him and his daughter on Twitter, Carl Frampton needs to check himself.

castletownman · 08-01-2022 11:41pm

Class tune.

And miles better than the Irish rap guff they have on occasionally.

08-01-2022 11:41pm

Excellent music.

meath4sam · 08-01-2022 11:42pm

Very nice song

There was a 3 part documentary on rte last yr "Dr Marie Cassidy casefiles" you might be thinking of that?

I think she's a great interviewee she always gives very detailed answers.

Lad GAGA · 09-01-2022 1:59pm

Great show, great guests. All totally different type of guests. There are undoubtedly so many great Irish success stories out there, like the singer, who the vast majority of people know nothing about so one of the great successes of this show is that they unearth these brilliant people as well as some 'ordinary' people who have had some amazing life experiences. Good to have the show back and I thought the music at the end was as good a song as I've heard from a new bacnd in a long time, must try and get to see them (de vagabonds?)when things get back to normal.

mickdw · 09-01-2022 2:08pm

Is Barry not in the boxing game at all now?

He asked him twice what he does with his days now and no mention of being a boxer manager / agent.

What was the craic with that boxer before and the court case with Mcguigan?

The producers of the TTS have selected some excellent folk-tinged acts over the run of the show. For my own part I can certainly say that the show put The Mary Wallopers, Lankum and Daoiri Farrell on my radar. Farrell's rendition of Creggan White Hare - it's one of those times where a performer just completely owns a song, a bit like Paul Brady's treatment of Arthur McBride.

Also heard of Jinx Lennon from the show. That particular performance probably divided opinion a bit more, but I found him different in a good way. Kind of an Irish Billy Bragg.
