TOP 5 BEHIND-THE-SCENES DOCS ft. Jay Boland

Let's take a closer look, shall we?NO ENCORE returns with debut guest co-host Jay Boland - he of Kodaline and Always Press Record fame - to peek behind the curtain of the making-of process as Jay delivers his Top 5 favourite such efforts. We've also got a packed news section, and some candid reaction to the recent news that Kodaline are set to call it a day, with a fifth and final album, and farewell gigs to come. Meanwhile, it's an especially good time to sign up to our Patreon, as Sonic Architect Adam gears up to imminently release a bespoke documentary of his own, all about the rise of high-end listening bars such as Fidelity and The Big Romance in Dublin. The boy has put the work in on this one, so don't miss it when it lands on Monday! And if that's not your jam but killer clowns are, well, the latest episode of Film Club takes on the Terrifier trilogy. It's a ghoulish delight, even if Andy isn't quite as converted as Dave appears to be. Hit us up now for weekly bonus episodes and our enduring love. Back to this episode, though, and our breakdown looks like this...ACT ONE: In conversation with Jay Boland as he talks Kodaline's decision to bring the curtain down on their career, his work behind the camera, and why you'll almost always find him at an underground gig. ACT TWO (28:14): Our news section takes in the untimely passing of Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers, an incoming record-breaking Westlife residency, how Callum Turner wooed Dua Lipa, Bob Geldof's presidential proclamation, David Draiman's disingenuity, Bob Vylan's costly appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, and Cedric Bixler-Zavala's irritation with Alien: Earth. ACT THREE (1:05:56): Top 5 Behind-The-Scenes Documentaries. -Kodaline tickets Hosted on Acast.
