In this festive episode of the Punks in Pubs Podcast, host Liam Bird takes a nostalgic trip back to 2018, revisiting Episode 29 with special guest Dave King, the mastermind behind Flogging Molly.
As the holiday spirit fills the air, Liam and Dave unwrap stories about Punk Rock, reminisce about Dave's musical hero Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners, and delve into Dave's unexpected journey from Ireland to L.A., where he found himself facing the challenges of being an illegal immigrant.
Amidst the laughter and anecdotes, the episode takes a poignant turn as Dave shares a heartbreaking story about the eight years he spent in America, unable to see his mother.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Punks in Pubs episode without diving deep into the world of Flogging Molly. The duo talks about the band's iconic Salty Dog Cruise. Because no conversation is complete without a bit of controversy, they even touch on some political topics.
So, grab a seat, crack open a cold one, and join Liam and Dave for this festive journey filled with punk tales, Christmas cheer, and a touch of heartwarming nostalgia.
