TURNING POINTS: MUSICIAN PADDY SHERLOCK SINGS HIS NEW SONG ALL THE WORLD LOOKS
ON, FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA

Paddy Sherlock photographed by Margot Rigaud

In this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen chatted with Paddy Sherlock,
an Irish musician and prolific songwriter. He has been described as a dynamic
frontman, actor, singer, songwriter and trombone hero. A tireless performer,
always juggling several exciting projects, he has also been a songwriting and
performing member of the famous French Band FFF for more than 25 years. In the
interview, he reminisces that he almost missed out on that terrific opportunity.

Paddy needs no introduction to World Radio Paris and many of us living in Paris
as he’s been entertaining us in the “City of Light” for the past 30 years and is
considered one of Ireland’s coolest and most original artists. As well as
discussing why he decided to hang his hat in Paris and his current and future
projects, Paddy sang ‘Like a Diamond’ from his  2021 album ‘Dusk’. The album
produced by Brisa Roché, for Black Ash Records, and recorded by Jeff Hallam, was
a huge critical success. Along with many other accolades, it featured on the
front of Rolling Stone Magazine as album of the week. The legendry magazine
stated, “The man feasts in an intimate voyage from Tom Waits to Paul McCartney
passing through Van Morrison”… 

Paddy also spoke about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and how tormented he has
been since 7 October and the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. He sang his new
song ‘All the World Looks On’, which he wrote for the people of Gaza, for the
very first time on radio, during the interview. Another premiere for WRP!

You can keep track of Paddy on his website www.paddysherlock.com and you can
reach out to him at paddysherlock@gmail.com for private events alone or with
other artists.

TURNING POINTS: DÚNLAITH BIRD

In this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen welcomed Dr. Dúnlaith Bird,
a Senior Lecturer in English at the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. As well as
her monograph, Travelling in Different Skins: Gender Identity in European
Women’s Oriental Travelogues, 1850-1950 (OUP, 2012), Dúnlaith has published
articles and chapters on women travellers including Isabella Bird, Isabelle
Eberhardt, and Freya Stark. She also researches the role of electricity in the
work of Samuel Beckett, and has published in Samuel Beckett Today/Aujourd’hui,
Samuel Beckett and Technology (2021), and Beckett’s Afterlives (2023). She is a
theatre reviewer for The Beckett Circle and the founder of the Beckett Brunch.
Her research interests include vagabondage, postcolonialism, gender identity,
Irish modernism, and Samuel Beckett. Her first published fiction, ‘Bullaun’,
which she read for WRP listeners, won the Panorama Flash Fiction Contest 2023
and was published in Sonder Magazine in October 2023. 

They chatted about Dúnlaith’s life in Paris. Arriving in the City of Light in
2008 and finishing writing her doctorate while teaching in Paris to fund it was
a major Turning Point in her life. She also spoke about the many cultural
activities she enjoys in Paris, including the preparation of  ‘Not Beckett’ an
international world premiere festival of six new short plays that will be staged
in Paris and other international cities in 2024.  

She also reflected that the word ‘Expatriate’ is no longer how she would like to
be described in the current French context. The playing field is so far from
being level, and if all foreigners living in France adopted the label
‘immigrant,’ it could be an affirmation toward rekindling and preserving
Equality, one of the sadly threatened 3 famous pillars…
