An interview conducted by a podcaster from County Kildare will feature in an upcoming RTÉ series.

Last year, Logan Kelly, who hails from Clane, interviewed Portlaoise-based Byro (formerly known as Coolboy) as part of 'An Ghig Mhór'. Each episode of the show follows a different young up-and-coming band as they plan and organise a gig in their hometown.

Now, Logan, who has since turned 13, has revealed that the interview with the young rockers will be released as part of the latest series.

Speaking about his appearance in the sixth and final episode of the upcoming series, Logan told the Leinster Leader: "I'm looking forward to watching the series.

"It was a great experience being part of the show and also to meet the up and coming band!"

The episode featuring both Logan and Byro will air on Monday, July 14, 2025, while the series itself is due to air tonight (June 9) on RTÉ One at 8pm.

In addition, The Hex, an all-female punk rock band which features members from Leixlip, will also star in the series.
