Echoes of Influence: Exploring a Storyteller's Legacy

Welcome to the Smoke Hole Sessions, a series of vital conversations with some of our most admired writers, musicians, artists, comedians and more. In this first episode, Martin Shaw chats to longtime friend and Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan. They discuss what sorts of stories, performances and practices have helped them get through the last year (often without an audience) and in turn, how we as a society can use stories to emerge from the pandemic and learn to grow our hands back again.
