The London Ear on RTE 2XM // Show 174 with Thom Hickey

On today’s episode of The London Ear, I was delighted to be able to chat to author of one of my favourite blogs Thom Hickey. Thom is the man behind The Immortal Jukebox, a blog which looks at popular music from the 1920s right up to 1977. If you want to find out more about music or rediscover lost gems, this is the blog for you! Thom was born in London to Irish parents and grew up surrounded by Irish culture.

You can find Thom online on Twitter and of course, on his website ‘The Immortal Jukebox’.
