Ep 439 – Liverpool Irish Festival and Solar Panels for Keech House Hospice

In Part 1… We’re at the Museum of Liverpool for part the annual Irish Festival.

The Liverpool Irish Festival presents lots of traditional Irish entertainment spread over 10 days. We speak with Emma Smith, the festival’s Artistic Director and CEO.

As Emma says, “it’s never been a better time to be Irish”

In Part 2… We meet up with Eddie Doherty and Mark Morrison from Renewable EDtricity Systems Ltd. Together with multiple businesses, they have installed a full solar energy system at Keech House Hospice, completely for free, saving the hospice tens of thousands of pounds each year on their energy costs.

We talk with Nikki Samsa, the hospice’s Associate Director, about the massive positive impact this has.
