Bernard moved here in 2008 and has created a first of a kind music industry platform, that ties together Distribution, Publishing and equity crowdfunding.

Here are some of the questions I asked him on the podcast.

He is a huge fan of Strandhill and Sligo and shares all about his journey with fanled.ie

What do you love about living in Sligo?:

It has everything IE mountains, forest, the sea all within in 10 min drive, plus the music culture is alive and well in this County.

If you could wave a magic wand what would you fix or bring to Sligo ie. facilities, shops, restaurants, culture/arts?:

I would thin out the number of committees which look after Tourism Arts and Culture events.

What keeps you awake at night?:

Excitement about getting things done the next day...

What are you looking forward to in the future in your personal and professional life?:

Getting the business brand so we can solve the value gap in the music industry, and taking a holiday as I can..

What are your must-do Sligo recommendations? Restaurants/Walks etc.:

Go for a Surf in Strandhill followed by an amazing meal at Stoked restaurant, then up to the Dunes Bar for open mic is the perfect day for me.
