Albert Twomey has done immense work for the independent music scenes in Limerick and in Cork. Cutting his teeth in Limerick as a promoter he started out with the non-profit Aspersion Music Collective and by the mid-2000s, AMC were bringing bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Fugazi to Limerick.

In 2003 he co-founded ‘Out On A Limb Records’ which is one of the longest running independent labels in Ireland. In 2007, he moved to Cork and began a long stint as a purveyor of all things underground with Plugd Records, he ran the hugely popular alternative club night ‘Ping Pong’, he started another independent record label called Penske Recordings, he still puts on gigs as a promoter under various monikers from time to time and he has most recently become a library assistant in the Cork City Libraries.

We talk about all this and much more and Albert chose a great playlist to accompany our chat.

I hope you enjoy and thanks for supporting local radio :)
