Songs In The Key Of Life With Nadine O'regan

There are few Irish authors busier than Clonakilty writer Louise O'Neill.    In addition to publishing not one, but two new novels this year, she has also just seen an adaptation of her novel Asking for It hit the stage in the Everyman theatre in Cork city. Happily, Louise still found the time to pop into studio and play us some of her favourite tunes, and it turns out she has brilliantly varied taste in music, ranging from pop through to soul, hip-hop and even trad.    What was her first album? "Jagged Little Pill was the first album that I bought with my own money," she said. "Often as women we're not encouraged or given space to express anger. There was such power in her anger."   Louise went on to pick many more tracks by female artists, including Beyonce, little sister Solange and a classic from Pat Benatar.    Listen back to the show by clicking the 'play' button on the top right of the screen.
