We\u2019re delighted for many reasons to be joining the Young Hearts Run Free<\/a> crew for this special Banter converation with Johnny Rogan<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For a start, it\u2019s a blooming Young Hearts’ joint innit. It\u2019s always a blast to join Siobh\u00e1n Kane and her crew for one of their events.<\/p>\n

For another, it\u2019s part of No Idle Day, their occasional festival. We have fond memories of interviewing Miche\u00e1l \u00d3 Muircheartaigh<\/a> at the last festival in 2016 in The Yacht. It was a colourful occasion.<\/p>\n

But most of all, this event is one of the ones which marks 10 years of Young Hearts Run Free shenanigans. Banter recently marked 200 events so we know what it takes to stay in the game this long and it ain\u2019t easy. That Siobh\u00e1n and co have survived and thrived over 10 years of high jinks, gigs, venue hassles, festivals, events, readings, mini-festivals, happenings, escapades and what-have-yous is something to be applauded.\u00a0 <\/span>That they\u2019ve raised oodles of cash for SImon Community is also worth mentioning. And, even though she\u2019ll blush, it\u2019s worth saluting that mighty Mayo woman at the heart of it all – she has single-handedly elevated and enriched the capital\u2019s arts and culture landscape with these events.<\/p>\n

And so to the matter at hand\u2026.this will be a comvesation with the great Johnny Rogan about the art of the biography. He\u2019s the don at this game, the man who has written the definitive word on such acts as The Byrds<\/strong> (“Timeless Flight”),\u00a0The Smiths<\/strong> (\u201cMorrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance\u201d), Van Morrison<\/strong> (“No Surrender”), Neil Young<\/strong> (“Zero To Sixty”), Ray Davies<\/strong> (“A Complicated Life”) and many, many more.<\/p>\n
