Listen "Willie Stewart (Nyahh Records)"
Episode Synopsis
Wille Stewart is from Dublin and now resides in Leitrim with his partner and sound artist Natalia Beylis. He has been involved in the Irish underground for 30 years.
Willie was the drummer in the mythical Dalkey punk band, Bambi, he is currently a member of Woven Skull alongside Natalia, and the pair are in the midst of converting their backyard into a multi-function space for creatives. They also run the excellent all-day festival of experimentation in music and sound in Leitrim called Hunters Moon.
Willie is a filmmaker who produced a fantastic documentary about Belgian surrealist, painter, sculpture, filmmaker, and performance artist Ludo Mich, called Ludo Is Fantastic.
He ran the former independent label Hypnagogic Tapes and is now the driving force behind Nyahh records, Nyahh meaning the soul or spirit of something. Nyahh records describe themselves as ‘A home for sound collectors, noise makers and music builders who love a good Nyahh’, and they recently released an extraordinary Compilation of Experimental Music in Ireland from 1960 to 1994, called Under The Island.
We talk about all this and much, much more! (including DeValera!)
I hope you enjoy!
