This episode is dedicated to the memory of Aisling Kennedy.
On July 5th myself, Roger (Cursed Monk Records), Emmet (From The Depths Podcast) & Eoghan (Slung from a Tree) organised a Podcast via Zoom to raise awareness for Rodgers young niece Aisling Kennedy, who suffered a severe brain trauma after being hit in the back of the head by a mirror from a passing truck. A gofundme page was set up for Aisling along with 'Monkfest' a gig in Pharacia in Limerick. Appearing on the gig would be Molarbear, Tooms, Slung from a Tree & Fraught on Sunday July 17th, along with BBQ and a raffle with prizes donated by many of the friends of Rodger in the Metal Community. Rodger shared with us on the 12th of July the heart breaking news that Aisling had passed away. A decision was made by Rodger to continue with the gig and this podcast so the money raised can go towards a charity Aisling's parents choosing.
