With a second lockdown looming, it's more important than ever to listen to the experiences of artists and musicians in the community.

Ethan Scally and Conor English have produced a new documentary, called 'Big Bag of Chats with Scally', in partnership with Switchbox TV.

The documentary, which premiered its first episode on YouTube on October 15, looks at how lockdown and restrictions have impacted musicians in Ireland, financially, creatively, mentally and emotionally. The first episode features Cronin, Bressie and Josh McClorey, with all of them speaking informatively about the struggles of musicians and the state of the industry right now.

Watch episode one below.
