This week on the show we have another amazing guest – and another amazing Mind Full Live recording! Earlier this month we put on a live show in the beautiful Lark Concert Hall in Balbriggan, Dublin with Danny O’Reilly, the frontman for one of Ireland’s most successful bands – The Coronas – to discuss the power of music, while also treating us to a couple of stunning live performances in this very special show.
Danny has also been part of my musical memory for nearly 20 years. I first came across the Coronas when they burst on to the Irish music scene with their album Heroes or Ghosts back in 2007. Danny is a natural performer, hailing from a very musical family which includes his mother the much-celebrated singer Mary Black and his chart topping and talented sister Roisin O. Danny has cleverly and successfully navigated a constantly changing music industry over the last 20 years driven by a deep lying drive to express himself as a musician and a performer.
We were also joined on stage on the night by The Mind Full Podcast’s Producer Brian Connolly, who has a PhD in psychoacoustics. Brian joined us to discuss the neuroscience behind the power of music!
The Coronas new album Thoughts and Observations is out now and go to thecoronas.net to see all their live dates including 5 nights at The Olympia in December– their Xmas shows there are legendary. They also play vicar street Dublin, the INEC arena in Killarney and Ulster Hall Belfast so grab your tickets if there are any left.

If you’ve been feeling wound up, worn down, snowed under or bowled over this is the show for you so grab your stressed-out besties and your bedraggled partners, and join me as I travel all over Ireland and beyond and we’ll un-wreck our heads and destress our lives together. Incidentally, I love to see teenagers at my shows too – you just gotta be over 14.

From Heroes to Observations with Danny O’Reilly
For almost two decades, Danny O’Reilly has been a driving force in Irish music. With hits like Heroes or Ghosts and San Diego Song, and a brand-new album, Thoughts and Observations, The Coronas have solidified their place in the hearts of fans at home and abroad. I first came across the Coronas when they burst onto the Irish music scene with their debut album back in 2007.
Over the years Danny, Knoxy, Conor and Dave, when he was with the band, were regular live performers in the studio and and at live radio events. They were great friends of Today FM’s Dermot and Dave show, and Danny has always been incredibly generous and patient as we rang up repeatedly to take part in whatever hair-brained schemes we had dreamt up.
A Night to Remember in the Lark, Balbriggan
Coming from a family of musical icons (his mum is the legendary Mary Black, and his sister Roisin O, a star in their own rights), Danny’s journey has been truly inspiring. In our chat, we discuss how music can shape emotions, build memories, and even act as a form of mindfulness.
This live episode was recorded at the beautiful Lark Concert Hall, and it was an unforgettable night. From insightful chats to intimate performances, Danny’s stories and songs remind us how music and mindfulness can go hand in hand. So whether you’re a lifelong fan of The Coronas or just love a good tune, this episode has something for everyone.

This week’s topic is Embracing Change and it’s fair to say my special guest for this week has seen his fair share over the last year. He was host of RTÉ’s flagship chat show The Late Late Show for 14 years and he has also worked in RTÉ as a radio presenter for over 20 years, speaking to the nation every weekday morning at 9am for his hugely popular Tubridy Show. Following some very well publicized upheavals in RTÉ last year, he found himself across the Irish Sea and taking on a major role in UK broadcasting. Currently hosting his brand new radio show on Virgin Radio UK and host of the instantly successful podcast The Bookshelf, Broadcaster Ryan Tubridy is my very special guest for this week.
And we’ve also got another very important guest. When we’re facing major change in our life, or if we find ourselves pining to shake things up in our career, relationship or lifestyle, the financial part can be the most intimidating. So why not meet the man I went to when I was humming and hawing about making a major change to my career! My conversations with him were truly transformational so I wanted to bring him on the show to see if he could help allay any of your fears you may have around change and set you up for your most exciting life trajectory. Financial wizard Dave Quinn is also here to share his expertise.
