This week her guest is Pete Cummins

So that seems to be the format - Cait hosts shows where people picks songs etc.

The bit I've heard ( since University Challenge ended at 8.30) has featured Robbie Robertson and Ralph Stanley , Cait mentioning being at the Carnegie Hall' Down From the Mountains' show etc.

Stef's Pogues related history wasn't mentioned. He and Cait discussed, mostly, his selection of songs.
They were -
Death Treats - The Mighty Stef
The Wanderer- Dion and The Belmonts
Hersham Boys - Sham 69
Daddy Gone - Glasvegas
The Sins Of St Cathrine - The Mighty Stef
Pancho and Lefty - Townes Van Zandt
The Night - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
The Mero - The Mighty Stef and Ronnie Drew
( Bob Dylan's 'Tangled Up In Blue' played them out)

Cait proved to be a very able interviewer. She let Stef have his say ,letting a sense of his personality come through. He seems genuine enough . Occasionally the conversation would drift and Cait would make a comment relating to herself. She spoke of the Tom Waits show here in Dublin in the summer , saying how Kathleen Brennan - Wait's missus etc.- was appalled at the media obsession with the ticket price, anti-ticket precautions. Stef said 'I'm broke, but I still found the money for it - he's worth it'. Cait praised his attitude. She then mentions that promoter Paul Charles recently told her that Waits would be back in Dublin soon. In relation to ticket prices she bemoaned the high prices some shows have, instancing a recent Motorhead show that she didn't go too because the price was just too high. Somehow Damian Dempsey was mentioned and Cait said that the first time she saw him ( after Luka Bloom urged her too) she was reminded of the madness of some Pogues shows.

Caits microphone technique was a bit iffy. The webcam showed her backing of from it and, of course, her voice would fade. Stef, sitting across the studio at a separate set-up, was clear all the time. Cait was constantly making notes in a A4 pad and, it has to be said, fiddled with her hair a lot.

Perhaps next weeks show , if it's Cait on her own, will be a better indicator of just what this show is about.

WHO’D BE IN YOUR DREAM BAND?
It’d basically be me with Led Zeppelin. I’d play bass and let John Paul Jones go on keyboards. I wouldn’t sing, not with Robert Plant in the band.

Hmmm...maybe keep JP Jones on bass and put Cait on lead vocals since Robert Plant doesn't appear eager to do more Led Zep gigs. Unless Steven Tyler
has already been recruited...

(extract)
[i]Of particular interest to Automatons obsessives is an early version of[b] "John's Vacuum Cleaner"[/b] (subsequently re-recorded for Peter Paints His Fence). Joined on vocals by [b]Cait O'Riordan,[/b] Lancaster struggles manfully through this tale of malfunctioning appliances, love, betrayal and suicide, with hilariously bad guitar accompaniment and a patently absurd metronomic drum machine bolstering the track's morbid charm.[/i]

LAST RECORD YOU EITHER BOUGHT, BLAGGED OR DOWNLOADED?

I’ve just bought[b] Blood On The Tracks[/b] by [b]Bob Dylan[/b] and the [b]Irish Tour[/b] album by [b]Rory Gallagher[/b] for €15 in the Jervis Centre.[b] I have a radio show (news to me - I'll check it out -J.F.) called Written In My Soul[/b] taken from a line from ‘Tangled Up In Blue’ on that Dylan album.



MOST MEMORABLE GIG YOU’VE PLAYED?
With The Pogues at The Barrowlands in Glasgow around 1985 (Dec. 14 '85). The roof was sweating that night.

FAVOURITE SPINAL TAP MOMENT?
Because I’m completely useless at any kind of technology, to me. all life is Spinal Tap.

MOST EMBARRASSING THING YOU’VE DONE WHILE DRUNK?
I don’t remember. It’s terrible! You’d better ask my sponsor.

WHO’D BE IN YOUR DREAM BAND?
It’d basically be me with Led Zeppelin. I’d play bass and let John Paul Jones go on keyboards. I wouldn’t sing, not with Robert Plant in the band.

MOST SHAGGABLE ROCK STAR?
I don’t really find rock stars fanciable. I’m more into rugby players.

WHAT SHITJOBS HAVE YOU HAD IN THE PAST?
None. I’ve been in bands since I was a teenager.
