We've just about recovered from a great bank holiday weekend in Waterford for All Together Now, returning for the first time since 2019. Nick Cave was the main attraction, delivering possibly the best performance ever seen at an Irish music festival. While reviewing ATN with a little help from some friends such as punters Tara Robinson and Niall Mac Suain, artist Ailbhe Reddy, and Grub Circus curator Joe McNamee, we talk about the contenders for best ever performances at an Irish music festival. But first, it's the return of Zara Hedderman, who talks about hosting the IMRO Podcast. Later, artist Muireann Levis on a great new event, including pedal boats, that she's involved with in West Cork next week, while Chris Power talks to us about a new collective in Cork. Then, there's new music from Maija Sofia ('O Theramin') and Neil Dexter ('I'll Be Ready'), who both discuss the tracks as well. 

02.16 Zara Hedderman returns to talk about hosting the IMRO Podcast, writing about music for a living, the new Angel Olsen album and reviewing for Pitchfork.
