This week: Getting to know Irish Ambassador to Canada, Eamonn McKee and hearing from singer/songwriter Ashley M. Davis. 8am & 1pm Eastern on TuneIn (Ask Alexa o...r Google) & via The Irish Radio Canada FREE App https://apps.apple.com//a/irish-radio-canada/id1514168639 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details Eamonn C. McKee is an Irish diplomat, currently ambassador to Canada and formerly to Israel and South Korea. Ambassador McKee is a native of Dublin. He studied at University College Dublin, and went on to receive a PhD in 1987 for his thesis on Irish economic policy 1939-52 from the National University of Ireland. Ambassador McKee joined the Department of Foreign Affairs in 1986 where he began the first of three periods of service in Anglo-Irish Division. He was first posted to the Embassy in Washington between 1990 and 1996. From 1999 to 2001 he served as a press officer at the Irish Consulate in New York. After serving as head of the Justice and Security Section of Anglo-Irish Division, he was appointed head of Emergency and Recovery Section of Irish Aid in 2005.In 2006 he was appointed UN Director and Director of the Conflict Resolution Unit. In August 2009 he was appointed as ambassador of Ireland to South Korea and to Israel in 2013. In 2015 he returned to headquarters to serve as Director of the Trade Division. He is now appointed ambassador to Canada in 2020 and commencing his term of service. Ambassador McKee was a member of the talks team involved in the negotiation of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and later involved in its implementation. A native of Kansas and graduate of the University of Limerick’s World Music Centre, Ashley Davis writes music that lives between continents and speaks to two national traditions. Between her background in American roots and love of Celtic folk, Davis possesses a unique talent for conjoining ancient history with modern, intercultural interpretation. Ashley Davis’s latest venture, When the Stars Went Out, is perhaps her most creative and challenging yet. Under lockdown in her home state of Kansas, the singer set herself a new task: to write songs that leaned toward the country music tradition of her childhood. If you’re from a roots background, Davis explains, you start to crave that spacethe quiet and the purity of it. To this endeavor she added a further challenge: recording collaboratively, yet apart, in isolation. Davis composed each of the songs in partnerships with her band members: Dave Curley, Colin Farrell, Will MacMorran, and Duncan Wickel. Ashley’s songwriting has long been inspired by the experiences of friends, but here, her musical colleagues became her co-writers, as well as her inspiration. From there, the album reached out to an even wider community: Davis is joined on tracks by Irish and American artists like Heidi Talbot, Tim O’Brien, Tony Furtado, John Doyle, Mick McAuley Music, Shane Hennessy, and Grammy-award winner Shawn Colvin.
