 But listen, congratulations, first of all. This album, the Heathen Choir, and it's quite easy for me to say it when you're sitting there. It's amazing. Thank you very much. It's amazing. Was it a long process? Well, yes, I suppose. The album's divided into two. There's the EP, the first half of it, the first extractor of the EP that I put out in May, and I suppose that was a year and a half in the making, really, from the end of COVID, sort of up until May, you know. And I released the three singles off that, London Bridge, The Life and Times of Me and The Raging Song. And then when I was getting the CDs printed up, you know, six tracks ain't really enough, like you know what I mean? So I had the live show that I did in 2020 in the Ghostlight Sessions, and they were all original songs that haven't appeared anywhere else. Paul, you know, so I wanted, I thought, you know, at least we could, you know, that's 12 original songs, you know? Master Stroke. I love that because there's a lot of thought within this. The Life and Times of Me, the EP, brilliant. And then, you know what you're getting there down? As a listener music, I'm looking at that and saying, there's somebody's prepared to give value for money as well. You know, you're putting an effort in the live. You know, a studio album is great, but when people can hear you live, you know, you can actually back it up, as they say, you know? I want to talk more about that after, but in the meantime, the first track you're going to do for us? Yeah, the first track, part of my new show is debuting brand new material and kind of a new style in this one-man show style, because in the past I've played with a band with the Heathen Choir, you know, and now it's the Heathen Choir one-man thing, you know? Yeah. And the first track's a brand new song. It's called RSVP. Yeah. And I'll blast it for you tonight. Right, whenever you're ready. Thank you. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks very much. And Arnie's in studio with us. He's going to be talking about his one-man show and talk more about the album, but in the meantime, we're going for an update with the football wrapped up at the stage, but John Mulligan's reporting.

Is that the way they ended up? We've finished. You're probably here in the backgrounds. We are the champions being played because, of course, going out and won the first division title on Friday night last, but they were given a scare at the very, very end. A freak corner kick that was driven in by flood was cleared off the line by Evan O'Connor, and it could have finished one-all. The goal coming in the 40th minute was Wasim, who ran down the right wing, sensed the cross. Even Watch got his foot to it, but unfortunately, it wasn't him who turned it into the net. He had taken a touch off Jamie Watson on its way to the Goyanite striker, and that's the way it was at halftime, Goyanite leading by one goal to nil. There were a couple of halftances in the second half, one or two of an old one, and Patrick Ferry had one in the 16th minute, and, obviously, Billy Banda had a very good shot in the 41st minute, but it was saved by Brendan. The United will wonder how they didn't get more than one goal, some good solid defending, and also some goalkeeper from Antonia Tuta kept him at bay, but it was Goyanite who are celebrating tonight. Of course, they are the league winners, and for Fin Harps, it's a new journey under their head coach, Darren Murphy, who was in charge of them tonight. We'll see how they go from here, but there were some very good individual performances nonetheless, and Kevin Jordan, definitely unlucky. Stephen Daugherty played well. Billy Banda came into it in the second half, and then in the second half as well, you had Daniel Stocco coming into the game, as did Aaron McLaughlin and Max Hutchinson, all tried their bit, but they just came up against the Goyanite team who are still on a high after Friday night, and just that little bit too strong. The final score here at MNDC Park, a win for the home side. Goyanite, they beat Fin Harps by one goal to nil. Thank you very much indeed, John. Thanks for your update, sir, this evening, and have a safe journey back home again. There you go, Goyanite, one up on Fin Harps, and you know the rest yourself. Right, we'll go for a quick break.

Yeah welcome back and Darren Doherty's in studio and I had a Martin McFadden listening and Martin good to hear from you as always and he said enjoy the show lads and you're sounding good, Darren. So there you go, compliment for a good friend, Martin. So, Darren, the one man show. Tell us a bit about it. Well, I release, as I say, I release all my music under the name The Heathen Choir, that's the name of it. And like, you know, as I say, it started off kind of being a band. Well, I released my first album under the, of this music, you know, in 2017 and then, you know, I made it all at home, like I do a lot of my stuff. Made it at home and then when I wanted to take it out on the road, I needed the band, you know. So originally I was just going to call it Darren Doherty, you know, release it under my own name but then when I got the band together, I like naming things. So I gave the band the name, so it was Darren Doherty and The Heathen Choir. And then after a while then, I liked the name of it an awful lot and I don't like my name that much so I sort of, I got to trim that off and so all my music's released under The Heathen Choir moniker, you know. But it's, oh my, it's my solo project, you know, that's what it is essentially. And the new one-man show is three acts really. I just did it over in the Baller Theatre there two weeks ago. Shout out to Connor at the Baller for being brilliant. Great people. And, you know, the first half of the show was these brand new songs where I'm working with the tracks, playing them live because I produced all of this myself. Yes. A songwriter and an arranger and a producer. So, you know, I've always found it limiting to just be turning up with a acoustic guitar. And I've been doing it 25 years. So like, you know, I just, it doesn't say everything I want to say. You know. You wanted an odd direction basically. Ah, that's it. Like, you know, and to be honest, it was nice seeing the notions in there beforehand because they're young and follow life and the boys are in schools, you know what I mean? And everybody's got, everybody's got like the mission statement and I must start about being a band, you know? I had a request just hang on now because I'll tell you who it was. I've seen a message in here and I just found it too late. And it was from Rosie Conley. And she said, Paul, my son's up there marked with the notions. Tell them that Mom Rosie is so very proud of them. So if you're listening, folks, and I didn't see that until they left. But apologies for that. But I'm like, sorry. No, I was just saying it's class to see a gang. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I love that too. You've got your gang. You know, the problem is when you get to my age and that, you know, it's difficult to get a gang together because people have families and, you know, serious, very serious jobs and whatnot. You're right. And so, but I still want to, I still want to bring a big show. I still want it to be anthemic. I still want that they have moods and atmosphere and different, you know, and, and so that's what the new show is. It's me sort of figuring this out. And I performed the first half hours, all these brand new songs that have been working on for about a year and a half at home, or SVP was one of them there. I'm only going to play songs from that section tonight, actually, on the show, because I'm very excited about them. Then the second half of the show is songs from the EP. So London Bridge, The Raging Song, Life and Times and Me and that as well. And I also do a segment where I pay tribute to some of our fallen, fallen heroes, you know, Shania O'Connor and D'Orson Reader and the Cranberries and that, you know, people that meant a lot to me, you know. So that's what the show's been. It's been going really well, you know. And you're pleased with it. And the thing about it is you've put this all together yourself. Yeah, yeah. Well, there ain't nobody else there. But it's no mean feat and full credit to you, you know, because it's great to see that. I love that, you know, where you're reaching out in another direction, not so much, you know. And musically, you still have the same, you know, you're still writing and recording. But to take on a different angle from it as you say, you know, about yourself and stuff, you're kind of exposing yourself about there. But it's a big step. It's a big step, you know. So you are playing, you're on the baller. That's right. And you're playing, sorry. I did Banger there on Saturday night too. I was up at the Favis Filties back bar sessions in Banger, you know, hosted by Stephen McCartney. Shout out to Stephen for putting this up. It's a really well-renowned songwriter evening, you know. And it's a small wee bar, you know what I mean? In the back. It's very intimate. It's got a great listenership, you know, people that have come for a long time. Not unlike the ghostlight sessions here, you know what I mean? The same kind of vibe. And now the Robbie did throw a bit of a spanner on the works like because everybody was fairly oiled by the time I got on. But it was fantastic to do the show as well. Again, it went down terrifically, you know. October, they're trying to send you're in Newton hours in the town hall. That's right. I'm up with my friend, Rory and Ellis up there playing in Newton hours town hall. These first three dates were sort of go out and see how it goes, you know what I mean? And try and get a feeling for the crowds and see how the show goes down. And to be honest, two out of three so far and it's went absolutely brilliant. So I'm in the process of working out shows for all next year. Because I want this good legs. I'm really encouraged by the reaction. I love what you're saying there. It's got legs, it's right. And you're treading, you know, creeping before you walk, basically. And you're putting it out. You're going to different directions of the country there. You know, that's not an easy thing to do when people don't really know who you are. So they're taking the chance to sit and listen to you. And you're pleased with the feedback you got on that? Well, funnily enough, absolutely. Very, very much. So one of the songs that I do in the show Dark Sides, it sort of ends in a euphoric rave, 90s rave kind of thing. And the crowd on Saturday Night in Bangor, we're mad for that. Absolutely loved it. So I know, as I say, it's going really, really well. Excellent. We wish you well with it. We'd love to get another track for me. Yeah, cool. This next song is called Three Cheers for Judgment Day. And this is a wee bit about, you know, people who have lost and contemplating, you know, the end and what it all means and all the rest of it. But also I had a great, there was a band called Frightened Rabbit, singer Scott Hodgeson, their Scottish band. I followed them for years, you know. And he passed away in 2018, made a big, big impact on my life and many, many others, you know. And I've kind of always taken it to myself to try to carry on his birth, you know, and to try and because it was, you know, he was a very troubled dude, like many of us. And he gave a lot of people that a hope, you know, and, you know, suffered by addiction and things like myself. And I used to come in 2018 and this song touches on my meeting when I met him. And it touches on on that thing. It's a hopeful song, though. You know what it means? So that's three cheers for Judgment Day. We're welcome for this. Thank you. Thank you very much. Take it, you do the compliment yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw it. It's all mine now. Lay it on over. Quick eye-break. Just don't go away. I've just had the Eclipse Cinema's experience. Wow!
