Every now and then we meet people who are different. Different in a way that you can say to yourself, I’m so happy I had the chance to meet this person, because, from a very selfish point of view, the time I spent with them made me feel good about myself and about those around me. Luke is one of those people. We met at one of our live podcasts where we were lucky enough to enjoy some of his music, but also the energy he creates when he plays. On a normal Monday evening, he had us all singing along to hooky songs that we had only just heard for the first time. That, in and of itself, is a skill and talent that not everyone can claim. In this conversation we go into detail on the road he travelled to become the person he is today and how that journey translates into some of his amazing music. Luke will be playing the Workmans club on the 24th of February. If you’re looking for an evening of great music and good vibes, then I’ll hopefully see you there.We talk about mental health quite a bit in this episode and I’ll attach some links to some of the amazing organisations who provide mental health services for those who need it. Never be afraid to reach out. And now, here’s my conversation with Luke…Tickets for Luke’s gig: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/luke-clerkin-live-from-the-library-ep-launch-tickets-512028449877https://www.instagram.com/lukeclerkin/Photo credit - Julie O’Brien @pizza_eggLinks to services in Dublin:https://stcatherinescounselling.ie/https://letsgettalking.ie/https://www.shannonshopeline.ie/http://www.services.drugs.ie/directory/view/swan-family-support-projecthttps://grow.ie/Book mentioned:https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Lost-Connections-AudiobookArtistsDamien Dempsey - https://open.spotify.com/artist/0bmF1w9eyJrY4CHyjpTQOW?si=PtNsmUL1QGGIhdlPlnssPwDamien Rice - https://open.spotify.com/artist/14r9dR01KeBLFfylVSKCZQ?si=-N5Hf9-7TwOn2ScmUXvrYAGlen Hansard - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Caot8EtHX6wLpNF2wRzS0?si=LRbfsZrVSSe_CboGAhYL6wJeff Buckley - https://open.spotify.com/artist/3nnQpaTvKb5jCQabZefACI?si=zL9jZRvkSuiJUZT7B8Fzqw
