Minterview Series x Dave O' Grady (Musician Seafoam Green)

MINTerview episode IV

Dave O’Grady of Seafoam Green, and some of us here go back a long time, so, sitting down with him and hearing about his fondest football memories was something quite special. Irish roots, becoming an evertonian, trialing at Home Farm in the ‘90s, and emigrating to Liverpool, this is more like a chat with an old friend, than an interview, "I don't know how I ended up at Home Farm, maybe one of my school friends was playing there. I ended up going there and had a little trial and got on the team - Home Farm at the time, they wore the Everton Kit, I remember thinking that’s cool, seeing that on the TV and that was the club we were playing for.” His childhood passion for St Pat’s, impact the Premier League has on the League of Ireland, and why Seamus Coleman is more daylight robbery than a steal. That Ireland / Liverpool love affair, the trad scene as we know it today, tour tales, playing at Finch Farm, and what’s next for Dave and his band.
