Ciara Kelly - Steve McQueen, Neil Diamond and why she'll never 'Shut up!'

Ciara Kelly is a restless soul. It's fair to say she's made some big decisions that has taken her life from potentially treading the boards, heading the boardroom, holding court, a GP's practice and now an awarding winning career as a broadcaster and journalist. If she hasn't done it all she's certainly seriously contemplated it and all the way through these twists and about turns she has picked up a serious love and appreciation for music which we hear all about in this week's episode. Enjoy!

If Ciara inspires you to go and buy one of the records she mentions (or just one from your own Recorded History) then we’d love if you supported our partners at TheRecordHub.com.

Recorded History, hosted by Ed Smith, is a series where you get to hear about the lives and histories of your favourite artists… and theirs.

New episodes released every Sunday feature Ed in conversation with homegrown and international musicians, writers, artists and creatives about the three records that have defined their lives. This isn’t yet another podcast highlighting the coolest, edgiest or most rarefied records people have in their collection – it’s not even just for people “in the know”. This is a podcast for everyone, where we celebrate the personal relationship people have with the music they listen to.

You'll hear some unexpected musical choices, featuring forgotten favourites from across the musical spectrum from rock, to house, to pop alongside fascinating personal histories from our guests.

Whether it’s an album that soundtracked their first breakup, a song they danced to at a wedding or a cassette they wore down while learning to drive – Ed warmly and humorously guides his guests through their musical memories.

Created and executive produced by Dee Reddy for GoLoud, the show is proudly supported by TheRecordHub.com
