Electric Picnic coverage is brought to you in association with Ramsbottom’s Portlaoise
It’s Electric Picnic Eve and ahead of this year’s festival, we caught up with chef Neven Maguire and Leo Moran of the Saw Doctors for separate interviews.
The incredibly eclectic nature of Electric Picnic is epitomised by Neven Maguire. He’s a well renowned chef who has had a national profile via his TV shows for a number of years.
He’s also the proud owner of Macnean House and Restaurant in Cavan. What isn’t as well known is that he has also done DJ sets over the years and has an incredible collection of vinyl records.
This Saturday in the Theatre of Food in Electric Picnic, he’ll be doing a cookery demonstration as well as a DJ set. He chats about that, the history of his family business and his new upcoming show on RTE.
We also hear from Leo Moran of the Saw Doctors, who will be playing Electric Picnic for the third year running.
After a Main Stage appearance last year, they move to a prime time Friday night slot in the Electric Arena this year. On the go for almost 40 years, he chats about how Electric Picnic has opened them up to a whole new generation of young fans.
You can listen to the latest episode in full on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
