To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited
Music:Music History
Released in 2002, Staros was the first full-length album from Nina Hynes. Staros celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and it's the youngest album I’ve featured on the podcast to date. In this episode Nina joins me to chat about the album and more: her earliest memories of music; writing her first song at the age of 8; taking up piano and later the guitar; busking on Grafton St; being introduced to the French composer and producer Hector Zazou; recording with Zazou and touring throughout Europe with him and Harold Budd; writing and recording Staros; touring America; her creative life in Berlin and her most recent album ZAP! We even talk about that time back in 1994 when she sang onstage with Jeff Buckley in Belfast. Episode notes are here.
