The Successful Irishman Podcast with Darragh Byrne
Episode 3: Busking in Dublin to Global Sax Sensation with Conor McGrath.
In todays's episode I speak with Conor McGrath.
The Daddy of live Sax Entertainment in Ireland. A true master of his craft who prides his professional skills on turning music into his purpose work with the help of an old school music teacher at such a young age.
Stories from busking on Grafton street to being head hunted to fly around the world promoting his bands album.
Travelling to Australia, the Middle East and all around Europe playing in Ibiza’s biggest super clubs and Ireland’s biggest and my favourite festival Electric Picnic .
We covered some incredible high’s, like a hilariously funny story when the band decided to drop acid before busking in Byron Bay, Australia that only lasted until the acid kicked in .
To the damage of the global lockdowns specifically for him with the hospitality industry shut down, having no work, no income with a family five and the impact of that on his mental health.
Then reinventing himself during that rites of passage to create a healthy body, healthy mind and online business that helps families live healthier and create time freedom from all over Ireland, today.
Now living a life he designed, this is an AMAZING story, and great to hear of a local break the mould of what's considered "normal life" in working class area's of Dublin.
I hope you enjoy this as much as did.
