Shunie Crampsey from Culdaff Co. Donegal is one of the finest singer songwriters in Irish Country Music. A man who has numerous albums released himself while also having many of the top Irish Country Music artists cover what he's penned down through the years. It's an extensive list which includes the likes of the late Big Tom, Daniel O'Donnell and his sister Margo, Mick Flavin and lots more. I talk to Shunie about his music career to date. Amongst that in the early 80's he joined the well known band, Brian Coll And The Buckaroos. The late Brian Coll was also great friends with Shunie and during our interview Shunie recalls fond memories of Brian. Elsewhere we look back at the stories behind some of Shunie's biggest songs and he speaks to me about his love of farming.
