An hour of talk and music with John Buckley McQuaid, multi-artist, who was born in Dublin and has travelled extensively from New York to Tokyo, from Paris to Berlin, from Vienna to Madrid. He has lived as a professional musician since 1979 and played concerts of his own songs all over Europe. His paintings have been exhibited in Austria, Germany and Denmark, where he resides. John is a storyteller par excellence - whether it's a song, a fairy tale, a painting, an illustration, a photograph or a video, each piece tells a story.
