In this special episode, Fender Jackson drops in to the Lunch Club at the London Irish Centre in Camden, London - a warm, vibrant hub for generations of the Irish diaspora. Set against a backdrop of laughter, tea, and stories, Fender chats with attendees and staff to explore the sense of community, identity, and belonging that the Centre fosters. From recollections of emigration and hard work to lighter tales of dances and reunions, the voices in this episode reflect a living thread that connects Ireland to London.
