 We look forward to you popping up sometime, maybe within the year you never know, we might catch you up again. I'll be delighted to Paul, I'll be delighted to. The pleasure's yours. Danny, thanks very much and the best of luck. Thanks Paul, see you all Thursday. 100% that's Danny McGill-Henney and I say Thule's playing live in the Ballers Theatre this coming Thursday night. Right, we move on to our final guest and we're pushing time but we're delighted to welcome Nathan Boyle. Good to see you. Good to see you Paul, it's my wife. How's things? Good day. Flat out? I keep busy enough. You're writing much? Not so much in the past few months. It's been a while since I got great and stuff but I've been busy all the way. You kill Kiara best? I kill Kiara originally, I'm actually living in town there now. Oh, you're living in town here now? No, I'm good now. I was going to say I hope you didn't travel too far with your dad alone. I know, I was just down the road there. Come here, this new single called Change. Yeah. Tell me a bit about that. So yeah, I was in a treatment centre there, I went in, started July last year, drinking drug addiction there. So I've wrote the song Change about amenability or what I felt, amenability to change. You know, in the first few weeks there when the emotions were coming up all raw from, you know, just being in treatment. I was five hours away from home and all that there and I wrote the song. I did a good bit of writing actually in treatment but... Did you find that helping you then? It was a therapy movie, you know. It kind of was, I in fairness, you know, I just kind of, I was kind of venting my frustration in songs a lot and I was like, but nah, there I was thinking that I couldn't change anything and I don't know how to change one of the lyrics and you know, that's nine months ago and I was looking and I started to lock up like so. Come here. Well, well done, that. Were you singing before? Oh yeah, I've actually been here a few years ago. I can't remember exactly how long ago, but I'd say it was three or four years ago. I can't remember. I look back, you can't remember much at all. Is that how bad it was? Kind of, life was a bit of a blur there, but I've got the oversight of it now. What made you take the step to go on to treatment? I don't know. I reached a jump on an off point like where I didn't feel like I could live what for without drugs or a drink or whatever and just realistically, you know, the addiction is a disease that wants to see you dead like and that's where it ends up for most people. It's a very brave thing you don't, you know? It's a very brave thing, you know. It wasn't an ill about it for long enough, but there just had to come a point where... And how are you feeling now? I'm generally quite content in terms of, you know, life's still life at the end of the day. Life's hard for everybody from time to time, but more good days than bad days. And I take my worst day in recovery than my best day in addiction because it's just incomparable or whatever. Would you sign positive about it? I've signed positive. And you're still on the journey? Yeah, I still early days and it's only one day at a time. Like, but, you know, I'm starting to see contentment and stuff for the first time before or during my using. That's good. After I'm using or whatever. Well, do you know what I'm delighted to hear that, actually? And I only wish you well. And do you know what it's even for coming on and talking about it? It's a big thing too. Oh yeah, nah. But it is, you know, because you don't know what that message put out to someone else and say, Good man. Ah, there's no point staying quite a bit in my house because, you know, it's stigmatising a lot there about the stigmatisation. It's like a lot of mental health issues. I had a fella phone me the day just about something that was a man's problem. And about two or three years ago, we wouldn't have discussed that in a million years. We wouldn't have. But it's because now the issues that he was talking about is, it's talkable among man more so. You know, man is a thing that they don't, you know. But I think it's coming more now that men aren't afraid to talk, you know what I mean. I'm afraid to say to you, and as I say, continue success. So, we'd love to hear the song. Ah yeah, so, yeah. It's called Change. It's called Change. Have you recorded it, Nathan? Ah, I actually have this one out there about a month now, I'd say. Spotify. And if people want to get it, it's on Spotify. Ah, Spotify and all the rest. It's under, I took an ocean and met a second artist named, so it's Edna YBO, which is my nickname. Right. So Edna decided to change from the old songs. Oh, she was all right. That's all right. We're looking forward to hearing this whenever you're ready. Ah, yeah. Thank you. Diction causes friction. My loved ones talk, but I don't listen. I'm scared of change, so I stay the same. I lose it all, and it's my mind, I'm sick in the brain. Will things always be this way? There's too much emotion for me to face. So why need something to know? It's just a quick picture to get stole. It's just a, because I'm still in the same place. And that reality's got such a bitter taste. That I constantly, because I'm still in this. Good lad. Ah, cheers. Good lad. You're doing well right now. Ah, yeah. Have you written me any songs, Nathan? Ah, I couldn't count them, to be honest. Is that right? Ah, ah. What's your style, what's your favourite style? She's them all over the place, because even in treatment there, those one song was kind of rapping, and then the other song was kind of that, and then so on. Ah, kind of, it changes. That's good, but, you know what I mean? It's good that you can go round there. You know, who would you listen to, to Piddler Gantel, when you say, who would be your favourite? I couldn't even answer that question, to be honest. I'd listen to all kinds of stuff now, in fairness. Maybe they'd say it, as I always say. Ah, more or less. D-Gig? Ah, I haven't really been doing the pub gigs now, since I got into recovery, but... You didn't kill Dair last week? Ah, I was in kill Dair there, supporting, opening up for the Druids there, they were playing a gig in the Mothbeater there, ah, Good Friday. How did you find that? It was a good day, ah, just played a few songs there, you know, at the start of it and stuff, and ah, it was good, good crowd, you know, good chatting to people afterwards and all that there. Good stuff. And tell me, ah, social media, if people want to get in touch with you or... Ah, Facebook mostly there, ah, Nathan Boiland, Facebook, there's a music page there. Ah, ah, I don't really bother with the TikTok and all that there, as much as I should. I do have a TikTok, I just don't remember the name, but that's how little I use it. You like me, self? Ah, ah. I get this one, I don't know if it's TikTok, it's one of them and it says, it's just following you, following the back, and I don't even know how to follow people back, Jimmy does all that. Ah. Facebook is about a Twitter, I don't mind too, you know. Ah. I mean, we'd love to get a lot of song off you. Ah, yeah, no bother. Ah, so... I don't know which one to do here. Just take your time and think about it. Ah, there's Wars on which is the first song I wrote in treatment, or there's... Ah, I'll do this one, it's called Pray. Um... It's the kind of rapy one I was on, but... Go on ahead. It's just about getting a higher power into your life and, you know, realising that you can't run the show and just asking for help and stuff. That's good, that's good. God gives me the strength, the wisdom and courage to help myself to change the things I can and become a better man, according to his plan. Yeah, I pray that God gives me the strength, the wisdom and courage to help myself to change the things I can and become a better man. Using and boozing. I'm sticking with the winners. I don't feel like losing. I'm choosing a new life for me. Instead of running for reality, I'm trying to live in the present, because that's a gift. Not escape with a pint line, call it or a spliff. I was living life on edge. I felt like jumping off a... but now I know I'm good. I've got a lot to give. Gonna give him my all to get my head set straight. Let's start giving back. I think that that's my fate. Be here to lend it near or a helping hand to any struggling out of child woman or man. But first, take care of myself for once. Heal and learn, not turn to drinking drugs because now my addiction will never co-wage. Take it day by day, get on my knees and pray. Yeah, I pray God gives me the strength, the wisdom and courage to change the things I can and become a better man, according to his plan. Yeah, I pray that God gives me the strength, the wisdom and courage to help myself to change the things I can and become a better man. Guess that's why I turned to drinking, getting stoned because I was just looking for some way to cope. I watched it all go up in smoke. I burned bridges and I lost hope. Struggling with life, dying inside slowly. I looked in the mirror and I didn't even know me. Sitting reminiscing, wishing that could be the old me and stay away from drugs just like my dad told me. Now I got a second chance to not ask the devil for a dance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Change the things I can. Yeah, I pray God gives me the strength, the wisdom and courage to help myself to change the things I can. Day by day, get on my knees and pray. Do you know, you should release that as a single. Ah, I'm thinking about that. Ah, definitely because that's a different style in the forest one. But do you know what? It's brilliant. It really, really is. The rap's class in it. Ah, just kind of... Is the rap easy to do for yourself? No, I wouldn't say so. No, I don't know where that came from. I was just walking around. Actually, we all did these jobs in the treatment centre and I was there changing the bins and stuff because I was on housekeeping in the house. And for some reason these lyrics just came into my head and I put it to the guitar then. But no, I wouldn't... Do you write the stuff down when it comes under your head? To be honest, I'm wild bad for even writing downwards. I've probably lost about ten decent songs just from not writing down the lyrics. Maybe like myself, something under your head and I'd forget it. I'd play it and it'd sound good not there but I'd just never write it down or record it and then I'd forget how the melody was or forget the words or something. Even under your phone or something. Even it was roughly you should do it. But that's very good. I'm not just saying that. It's excellent. It's yours. Listen, it's been a joy having you up. I really enjoyed your company. And I wish you success. I hope everything goes well for you. And you know, you're reaching out with your story to someone else. It'll pick up on that. You know what I mean? Could be good through turmoil as well. I'm sure your journey's not over but you just keep getting the strength to keep going and I hope it works out for you. Nathan, what did you say your nickname was again? Nebo, N-A-Y-B-O. So I have two Spotify's there. One's Nathan Boylan and one's N-A-Y-B-O. Good lad. But just before I go, there is help out there for anyone to want it. It's very important. They wanted it for long enough, but they wanted it all out there. And can you tell us where you went? I couldn't worry and I thought it was the treatment centre and then I did two programmes there. I've been in Carlin House there and secondary treatment. It's the White Oaks Transition House. Oh yeah. Transition, but you're back in the society and stuff. Well, come here. As I say, it's not easy to come on and talk about it. Oh, sure. But it's good that you talk about it and it's great that you're here to talk about it because that's a positive message, you know? And as I say, I wish you well in the future. But keep your music going. Definitely do something about it. And do you know what? Come back up and see us again because we would love for you to come up, you know? Yep. Come here. Thanks very much, Nathan. Cheers, Paul. That's Nathan Boylan. And do you know what? Brilliant songs, brilliant songs. I think that's about it from me. Thanks for your company in this moment tonight. I hope you enjoyed the music we had. Thanks to Danny McGill-Hunny for joining us. Don't forget, as I said, Danny's along the Ghostlight Sessions just coming Thursday night in the baller. And then we had Trevor and Jer and as I say, supporting, or not supporting, special guests. I said that to somebody else and they said, you know, I'm not supporting them, I'm a special guest. And, of course, Rowe was just brilliant. Really enjoyed that, too. So that's what it's all about. I hear his music. Do you say this from time to time? And I apologize because people send me music and I say, I'll definitely play it in Monday night. But time, time kind of beats this, you know? But keep sending the music to us. Jim will definitely get tracks out on Thursday night. Aiden Laird is a new single out too. This is the day, very good. I have loads of music I should have got through. But listen, keep it going, keep the music going. Stay tuned for Aiden Murphy. Aiden's on the way next between 9 and 12. He'll look after you with a golden ear. Jim will be back centre stage on Thursday night. And all will be well. I'll be here on Saturday between 12 and 3 for the All Saturday show. For Michelle, Tommy, David and Jimmy Stafford. Have a great weekend. Have a great weekend. Have a great weekend. Have a great week. Good luck. At 10, good evening, I'm Tina Gates. Leo Veradkar has officially resigned as Thyshuck. He travelled to meet the president this evening following his final engagement as leader earlier on. Sheila Nocten reports. In 2017, Leo Veradkar came to meet Michael D. Higgins and Orsa Nutharan to receive his Seal of Office, becoming the youngest and first gay leader of Ireland. This evening he returned to formally resign from his position. The shock of his announcement less than three weeks ago has now died down with his likely successor, Simon Harris, expected to take over tomorrow. He is being remembered as a Thyshuck who was modern, there for the abortion referendum, significant in the Brexit negotiations, but also left some key areas unresolved and perhaps worse off, like health and housing. Those ongoing issues are something that all going to plan, Simon Harris will take on from tomorrow. The intention will now also turn to decisions around cabinet and who will or won't keep their ministries and who will be added to the fold. Sheila Nocten at Orsa Nutharan Dublin. Former Thyshuck Berthier-Herns paid tribute to Leo Veradkar's work on getting the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement back up and running. Tough time and tough time dealing with the British government. I think Leo's stuck with that. He's been around now to see the institutions back up. I think it's very fitting that his last engagement is the North-South bodies, which are crucial to the agreement. We wouldn't ever have had a Good Friday Agreement if we did not have the North-South bodies. There was significant flooding affecting roads in Kilkenny and Cork this evening, with safety officials warning of difficult driving conditions in heavy rainfall. In Kilkenny, the Montevat to New Ross Road was closed due to flooding and there were floods between Montevat and Noctover. In Cork there was flooding between Malow and Dromahane and Roachestown and Passage, and the Tay Road and Cove was impassable. A status-yellow warning for rain is still in place for five counties until midnight tonight. That's Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Wicklow and Waterford. Joanna Donnelly from Mitterance says the South-East is worst affected. South of Lester and each month there we've got Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, Kilkenny and Carlow all affected under the yellow-level rainfall warning. That low pressure system is very slow-moving eastward so it's going to practically rain there all day. That warning goes out to midnight tonight. It's a very slow-moving system as I say then. The range of keeps on coming with us. Large parts of North America were plunged into darkness earlier despite it being the middle of the afternoon. A total solar eclipse cast a shadow over the continent around eight o'clock Irish time. Here we got to see a partial eclipse. About five million people are thought to have travelled to areas where it could be seen best. NBC's Priscilla Thompson was watching in Dallas, Texas. A mass official says the group has rejected Israel's latest ceasefire proposal. Talks have been taking place in Cairo and earlier an Egyptian official had suggested that a deal was close. Three people have died in a shooting in Las Vegas. The figure includes the attacker who's thought to have turned the gun on himself after opening fire on a man and a woman in a law office. The property developer claims a new airport would solve all the problems at Dublin Airport. It comes as a Middle Eastern consortium is looking at buying up land in Arklow and County Wicklow for a new international hub. These local people are undecided about the project. Well I think the town people will reject it more and I think they'll have a council behind them. Yes it will be great for jobs and everything but at the same time you have to think of the bigger picture and I don't think it's what Arklow needs. I think it'll be good for the town. We've got jobs that's going to make and not just the jobs in the airport but the jobs that it's going to make for anyone that's in construction and the years building it. Do you think it'll actually happen? Probably not. And that's your latest news update at four minutes past ten. Sport now in soccer. Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe says they'll need to be clinical if chances come their way against England. In excess of 30,000 tickets have been sold for tomorrow night's Euro qualifier at the Aviva. England are ranked number two in the world and McCabe knows Ireland may have to feed off scraps. As a group and collectively we've looked at moments in the games where we could be better whether that's in that attacking area or establishing play. I'm not going to go into major examples but as I said there's definitely moments where we've dissected where we can be better and hopefully we'll be able to implement that tomorrow night. The MonsterFA have announced that Ternus Cross is to be closed indefinitely. They say it's to facilitate extensive works to the pitch. Cork City are due to play a deal or waves in the women's Premier Division there on Saturday with the men having a first division fixture with Longford the following...
