The very wonderful Kim Lenaghan invited me on her show on Sunday morning to shoot the breeze, tell the story of The Dock, and share my love of all things Titanic…

You can listen in (for only another 27 days! hurry!) by clicking the link here – go straight to about 19:20 if you want to find the start of the interview.

Kim also invited me to do a desert-island-discs thing with some of my favourite music – it was an interesting challenge to pick out just three pieces.  Anyone who knows how much I like my life to be underscored by the extremely DRAMATIC and EPIC barnstorming soundtracks of Hans Zimmer won’t be surprised to find that some of his music (Crimson Tide) made it onto the list – as did a fantastic song by Sara Bareilles, ‘Chasing The Sun‘, which has a killer line in the chorus which encapsulates so much of the risk and adventure and wonder of the Dock story:

You said, remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be chasing the sun
So fill up your lungs and just run…

And for my last choice – because it’s a truly lovely song, but also because it transports me right back to the early days of Dock Cafe (the music video was filmed in the cafe just a few months after we opened), Robb Murphy’s ‘Love in Abundance’ – give your eardrums a treat and press Play!
