Bressie announces local stars as guests for upcoming Mayo gig

Niall ‘Bressie’ Breslin will be joined by some well-known Mayo guests for his ‘Where is My mind?’ podcast in Castlebar this October.

It was revealed yesterday that Ballina social media star Garron Noone, Mayo footballer Padraig O'Hora, and member of 3 Bucks Left, Stephen 'Cowboy' Kelly, will be guests at the live podcast show at the TF Royal Theatre this October.

Announcing the line-up on his Instagram story, Ms Breslin said: “Mayo, I’ve put together an absolute belter of a group of special guests for the show in the TF in Castlebar on the eleventh.”

The former Blizzards frontman said he was ‘delighted’ to be joined by these guests, and said they are calling it ‘a few good-ish men’.

“We’re going to be talking about all the ins and outs and ups and downs of this little piece of meat between our ears, but also modern masculinity. I think what a perfect group of guests to have that discussion on the ‘Where is My Mind?’ podcast. It’s gonna be an absolutely amazing night, I cannot wait to speak with them,” continued Mr Breslin.

Previously speaking to The Mayo News, the former The Voice of Ireland coach explained how his hugely successful podcast came to be.

“I had all this information, and I find some of it a bit inaccessible for people. The mind is a… it’s a scary place, but there’s so much we can understand, and I wanted to bring that knowledge, and translate the stuff that I was learning into something that was digestible for anybody, no matter what they did in life, and that’s where the podcast started, and it kind of just grew out from there,” said Niall.

The run of shows this October is far from Bressie’s first time on the road. Still, although he’s used to touring, it hasn’t always been easy.

“I went through a period where I was struggling with performing at all. I lost interest, and I lost the love for it, and performing has always been the thing I’ve enjoyed the most of my career. This has kind of reignited it for me again,” he said.

Looking ahead to the upcoming podcast tour, he said audiences can expect ‘everything they don’t think they’re going to expect’.

“It’s an enjoyable show. I’ve had 14-year-olds at the show, I’ve had 90-year-olds, and they all got the same thing from us, they felt like they were in a sitting room with me – and I’m pretty proud of that, because that’s what I tried to create.”

He’s also delighted to be bringing the podcast to Castlebar this time around. “I think that the TF is a great venue for it – I played the TF a good few times, so yeah, I’m looking forward to it!”

Where is My Mind? With Niall ‘Bressie’ Breslin, Garron Noone, Padraig O’Hora and Stephen ‘Cowboy’ Kelly takes place on October 11.
