Can you think back to a time when you were younger or perhaps in more recent times when you had to stand up in front of a group of people and perform something? Whether it be a poem, a song, a presentation or whatever it is, holding your composure doesn’t come easy to us all. In fact, Im sure we can all admit that we’ve suffered from nerves at some point in our lives. This is what fascinates me about talking to people like Colm. A professional musician who’s toured all over the world, and yet he to admits to experiencing the odd bout of performance anxiety. What was really refreshing about my chat with Colm was that he doesn’t put overcoming this anxiety down to increased self-esteem or we’ll say, mental tricks, he puts it all down to hard work and discipline. Practice until it’s more difficult to make a mistake than it is to perform perfectly. I really admire this about Colm and other performing artists. It’s so easy to forget the countless hours that goes into what can seem like an effortless performance. Colm tells me more about where this discipline comes from and he’s fostered it. We also chat about Dublin and Ireland and how these places have shaped him as a musician and many other topics. 

Thanks to all of you for listening. Your support for this project and the community we are building in Dublin is really heartwarming and I hope we can continue to develop this as much as possible.
