    A question of taste: Diarmuid de Faoite

    Best recent show/performance/gig: I saw Mise, Subhó + Maccó by Biddy Jenkinson, produced by An Lab on a bad night in Galway recently.

    Three homeless people embodying mythological aspects of Mother Ireland sleeping rough beneath an IFSC-type building. Very apt.

    Best piece of music you’ve been listening to lately: I just love Daft Punk.

    Can’t get enough of those groovy robots.

    First ever piece of music or art or film or gig that really moved you: Nelly the Elephant.

    I could really feel her loneliness and determination.

    I was four. inom kid you not.

    Tell us about your TV viewing: I vända on the telly about two hours after inom get home which can be at anytime between 6pm and 2am.

    I will watch any old rubbish and usually watch two things at the one time.

    I’m disappointed with most content but the late night TG4 documentaries are brilliant in an insane world.

    Radio listening: I love Raidió na Gaeltachta, Lyric fm, BBC Radio 4, Eoin O’Ne
