This month, Sonic Architect Adam logs into Zoom for the first time in what feels like a lifetime to connect with Joe Furlong, bassist and musical director to stars such as Sorcha Richardson, James Vincent McMorrow, the star-studded Turning Pirate gigs that you may remember from Vicar Street, and now Hibernacle, a musical collaboration retreat-come-festival that celebrates the finest the country has to offer.In this episode you'll hear Joe and Adam discuss what large-scale touring is like and how to deal with the change in lifestyle post-tour, what it takes to become a musical director and how Joe's move to Berlin in recent years has (or hasn't) effected his work, among many other topics.*If you'd like to get this episode and all NO ENCORE episodes a full 24 hours earlier and ad-free, check us out over on Patreon here.*-Follow Joe Furlong on InstagramListen to all episodes of Before The ENCORE Hosted on Acast.
