The 1,000th Best Band of All Time: Patrick Freyne in conversation with Sinead Gleeson

“Patrick Freyne spent most of his twenties trying to be a rock star before turning to the much more stable and secure world of journalism. He has had short stories and essays published in The Dublin Review, Harper's, the FT Magazine, Banshee and Winter Papers, and is a features writer at the Irish Times. His book of essays, OK, Let's Do Your Stupid Idea, was published by Penguin Sandycove in 2020 — nominated for an Irish Book Award, longlisted for the Rathbones Prize and shortlisted for the Dalkey Emerging Writer Award. His debut novel, Experts in a Dying Field, was published by Penguin Sandycove in June.”
