S1 Ep 102A conversation with Denise Chaila, MuRli and God Knows
Episode 102 of the Nialler9 Podcast and it's one we've been trying to make happen for quite a while.On this week's episode, Niall and Andrea are joined by three very special guests.Earlier this year, we had the Shannon rap legend God Knows on the podcast finally, but we always intended to gather together the crew and close cohorts around him, the rappers, producers and friends from the East Coast of Ireland.What began publicly at least, with the emergence of God Knows and Murli became known along with MynameisJohn as Rusangano Family, the Choice Prize Winning Limerick-based rap trio whose work is some of the most exciting rap to come out of Ireland this century. While the original group has been on hiatus, God Knows and Murli have been expending their creativity on music of their own and with close collaborators drawn from across Ireland and beyond.2020 has been the year of the collaboration with God Knows bringing the South West All Stars and Murli building on his Intangibles mixtape from last year with 'Til The Wheels Off' and 'The Culture', all the while getting back behind the producing boards of others.Most notably, Denise Chaila, who after a spoken word appearance on the most 2016 Rusangano Family record Let The Dead Bury The Dead, and a debut single 'Copper Bullet / Duel Citizenship' in 2019, has bloomed into a force, capital F, in 2020. With her 2020 single 'Chaila', impacting Irish radio and playlists in a big way and with one hugely memorable and much-lauded online streamed show for Other Voices at the National Gallery of Ireland earlier this year, Denise has been growing in stature as an artist and as a public figure, and as our interview will make clear, she’s only getting started.Myself - Niall - and Andrea sat down with these three inspirational music makers and peers for a near-two-hour chat in a Dublin hotel room recently that takes in a lot of topics including Dungeons and Dragons, Zoom Fatigue, Social media habits, crying at movies, The expectation of black artists to represent the black experience and much much more.We hope you enjoy our chat as much as we did:If you do, and want to support us, our patreon page is Patreon.com/nialler9 - from €6 a month you can help us keep making some money in this pandemic time where we can’t put on gigs, events and do what we normally do.

S1 Ep 34Here’s what the programme for government says about plans for Irish night-life
With the passing months since the election and the outcome dulled by a worldwide pandemic, it was easy to forget their are other things to think about in the world.So after the February election in which the result showed Sinn Fein in ascension but not enough to form a government, a coalition of Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and the Green Party is what we are left with a rotating Taoiseach role. Gluttons for punishment we may be, but there is some light in the programme for government this week.Direct Provision, which has become a lightning rod of an issue in the wake of BLM protests, is due change to a non-profit system to “accommodation for asylum seekers that has the protection and promotion of human rights at its core.” About time.There's an increased emphasis on green issues including increased cycling infrastructure and reduction of emissions including a ban on the sale of new and the importation of second-hand petrol and diesel cars from 2030 and LGBT1+ policy allows adoptive leave and benefit for same- male couples.You can read an overview here or see the whole thing here.Of interest to Nialler9 as a supporter of the Give Us The Night campaign which has been working tirelessly in the last few years to address Ireland's archaic licensing laws and night-time economy issues. The text proposals about those concerns in the programme are as follows (my text in bold for emphasis):Night-Time CultureSocial distancing will have a major impact on night-time culture. We will work withstakeholders from across the night-time culture sector to develop innovative approaches to enable the sector to function and to create a vibrant, diverse and sustainable night-time economy in Ireland.We will:Establish, in the first thirty days of Government a Night-time Economy Taskforce.Conduct a full review of the regulations and policy framework governing our nighttime culture at national and local level, including the staggering of trading hours for pubs, late bars, clubs and restaurants.Modernise our licensing laws and application processes.Support the establishment of the Night-Time Culture Mayors proposed for Dublin and Cork and examine the establishment of local committees to advance and improve our night-time entertainment and creative offerings in other urban areas.Hangar 2017.Creative and Cultural InfrastructureWe will:Examine 'Agent of Change' * initiatives whereby existing cultural spaces have to be taken into account when building.Support measures to increase the provision of affordable work spaces for artists and creative practitioners.Examine ‘meanwhile use’ legislation for vacant buildings with a view to its potential application in Ireland.Ensure the timely delivery of arts and culture capital investment commitments, including our National Institutions, as outlined in Project Ireland 2040.*The Agent of Change idea is one where existing venues or spaces are recognised as essentially being there first so if a new hotel or residential development has an issue with noise etc then it's up to the developer to soundproof its new builds not put the onus on the venue to retrofit to them.That's all positive stuff that the Give Us The Night campaign has been putting across as potential measures but remember, this is a draft programme of intentions not set-in-stone policies. Programmes can quickly change or lose focus depending on what's happening with the economy and the world (hi pandemic) so now that the government is listening, it's time for Give Us The Night supporters to make sure they keep listening, especially as venues and spaces are on their knees thanks to necessary COVID-19 restrictions and will be lucky to survive.Something that isn't clear exactly is whether the government will address the abolition of the Special Exemption Order of €410 a night if any nightclub wants to open past regular closing hours though "Modernise our licensing laws and application proces...

Ep 76Mac Miller’s last act of self-care (Nialler9 Podcast)
The OG team of Andrea and Niall are back in the hot seats for Niall's first podcast of 2020.First, Niall reports back from Eurosonic in Groningen. We share our reasons to be cheerful and review tracks from Thundercat, Orla Gartland and two from The Turning soundtrack.Our album of the week is the sixth and final album from Mac Miller. Miller died from an accidental drug overdose due at the age of 26 in 2018. Circles was finished at the request of Mac's family by producer Jon Brion and feels about as complete as a posthumous album release could be. It's also companion project to his August 2018 record, Swimming. There are moments of self-reflection, self-care as Mac was learning to cope with his mental health and to strive forward, was learning how to look after himself which sadly contextualises and deepens his loss.Finally, we ask what's consuming you? as we share our TV, movies, music, books and podcast recommendations from the Christmas period.Tracks of the week Empress Of - Call MeMitski - Cop CarOrla Gartland - HeavyThundercat, Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington - Black QuallsAlbum of the week: Mac Miller - CirclesGood NewsCirclesClosing track: Cynema - Radio LoveSubscribe to the podcast and please leave a review on iTunes, tell your friends or commit to supporting us directly.
