Comedian Ruby Wax, singer Cliona Hagan and musician Paul Connolly
Sunday with Anna CurranAvailable for 28 days
Anna's first guest this week has never been afraid to tell it exactly how it is. Ruby Wax has interviewed some of the world's most famous faces, everyone from Madonna to Donald Trump in her own provocative and abrasive style. She joins Anna to talk about bringing her new tour Absolutely Famous to Belfast, her least favourite guest, and the interview with Star Wars star Carrie Fisher that resulted in a friendship spanning more than three decades. *Contains language some listeners may find offensive* Also on the programme, Cliona Hagan is one of the biggest names in Irish country music. From singing Dolly Parton songs into a hairbrush as a child to being dubbed 'one to watch' for the future by Irish country legend Philomena Begley. She's a qualified music teacher, was a finalist on Dancing with the Stars Ireland and toured across Europe but now Cliona is putting down roots with a new venture. She joins Anna to talk about all that and how a recent family bereavement puts everything into perspective. And Paul Connolly tells Anna how the Bring Me Sunshine project is using the power of music to help care home residents living with Alzheimer’s and dementia-related conditions. Plus, the Sunday songbook is full of easy listening vibes to soundtrack your day.
