Wow..... Martin Hayes is the most talented man in our country - skip to 22:00 for the music

Kind of bugged me how Tubridy kept cutting Higgins off while talking about frankly under appreciated poets just to prop some famous names like Bono and Christy Moore. Still a great interview though.

Higgo should be hosting the late late. America has David Letterman, who do we get for our national show? Ryan tubridy, get out.
