Hello and thanks for checking out The UnLaoised Podcast. 

Over the last number of weeks I have been putting together this series of podcasts showcasing some of the amazing talent that county Laois has to offer and we intend on having them here, on this podcast. 

In episode 1, we chat to Paralympic swimmer and Portarlington native, Nicole Turner. 

Having some amazing achievements under her belt at just 17, you are sure to continue to see this Laois lady on your televisions again soon.

In Episode two of The UnLaoised Podcast, we speak to Laois man, Damien Bowe. Known for his time in pop band D-Side, we hear how he just decided one day to go and audition for a pop band while fixing the clutch on a tractor. 

From that audition Damien was picked out of hundreds of lads and D-Side were formed. 

Having spent years travelling with the band and residing in London for sometime, Damien returned home. Now, he is front man of one of Ireland's greatest wedding bands, The Vows. 

I was delighted Damien took time out of his schedule to sit down and talk with me for episode two.
