On this episode, Orla Diamantino is joined by award-winning actor, producer and director, Daragh O’Malley – star of TV shows including Crossroads and Sharpe.

Son of the late Hilda Moriarty, Daragh shares memories of his mother’s relationship with poet Patrick Kavanagh, and how the poem Raglan Road (sung soon after publishing by Luke Kelly of the Dubliners) was penned about her. His song choices are as eclectic as his career and complement the conversation perfectly.

Daragh has lived a fascinating life, from working with Hollywood Stars, to producing the “sexiest version ever’” of The Rocky Horror Show, according to the show’s creator, Richard O’Brien. Tune in to hear all about Daragh’s upcoming production of ‘On Raglan Road’, and his plans for touring the show.
