Alex Kapranos - The Franz Zone

Camille O'Sullivans life offstage has been as fascinating and captivating as she is on it. Her father, a dashing racing car driver, falling in love with her French mother in Monaco. The family moving to rural Cork and her exposure to music through her sister's bedroom wall, a near fatal car accident, a potential career as an architect and of course her incredible career as one of our most beloved performers and interpreters of songs by some of the greatest of them all. Her story is an incredible one as is her passion for the music that has shaped it. Enjoy! Camille's Albums: David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call Bob Dylan - Blood On the Tracks If Camille inspires you to go and buy one of the records she mentions (or just one from your own Recorded History) then we’d love if you supported our partners at TheRecordHub.com.

With her powerful voice and equally incredible band, Fight Like Aoes, Maykay belted onto the scene in the early noughties and absolutely lit up the Irish music scene. After 3 albums the band went their separate ways but her journey sontinued with the likes of the isonic Le Galaxie and collaborations with the likes of Elaine Mai. As much a force for good in front of the camera as she is behind the mic, she has helmed coverage for Other Voices for 8nyears and has recently travelled to Palestine to help those that need it to find their own powerful voice. With the announcement of another FLA gig next year, she dropped into Recored History to share her story and 3 supreme record picks. Enjoy!

Mundy is nothing short of a legend of the Irish music scene and one of our most beloved and prolific singer songwriters for nearly 30 years. His career has known some incredible highs since he picked up a guitar in his father's pub in Birr. From featuring on one of the most iconic soundtracks of all time, to sharing a stage with the likes of Neil Young, The Manic Street Preachers and Shane McGowan and of course accidentally creating Ireland's unofficial summer national anthem.
