LoveLaois Podcast: Electric Picnic fever, press day, Main Stage prep and Alan’s excitement

Electric Picnic coverage is brought to you in association with Ramsbottom’s Portlaoise

The LoveLaois Podcast returns this week as Steven and Alan chat about this year’s Electric Picnic.

Alan was at the press day on Tuesday – which is generally regarded as the Junket of the Year. As well as a free lunch and a bag load of goodies, he also came back with an array of random thoughts, chief among them his observations on other members of the media.

Alan tells us all about who he met at the press day and who he’s looking forward to seeing while Steven discusses his Main Stage appearance as a newly signed-up member of the Timahoe Male Choir.

The lads also chat about a debut appearance in Hazelwood for the Stradbally Community Choir, the impact of the Electric Picnic locally and, of course LaoisToday’s QuizCast in the Ah Hear tent in the Mindfield arena on Friday afternoon.

You can listen to the episode in full below while we also have a follow-up podcast looking ahead to the weekend where we hear from festival director himself Melvin Benn, Mark McCabe of Maniac 2000 fame, Leo Moran of the Saw Doctors and chef Neven Maguire who will also be doing a DJ set alongside his food demo.
