"How could I spend my day working alone without listening to RadioÌý4? It inspires new ideas, all manner of visits, concerts, and reading material. There seems to be an intense link between the concentration of working and listening. I could look at anything I've made and tell you
what I listened to at the time. The few times I switch off are filled with recordings of favourites I've missed. Then there are moments of synchronicity: hearing Carol Birch talk about her novel on generations of a family history in Cork, while painting my new found Cork ancestors!"
