Episode Notes
Leslie Dowdall: A long-time Wicklow resident who grew up in Monkstown in south Dublin and Rathvilly in County Carlow, singer-songwriter Leslie is undoubtedly best known for her time fronting the Howth, County Dublin collective, In Tua Nua, in the 1980's and her solo career since. And while her musical taste is broad and diverse, her record collection is less so, an old boyfriend she says having hightailed with almost all her vinyl records some years back. What numerous CDs and sparse vinyl albums and singles she still has, however, are well worth a listen.
