Episode Details

Limerick rapper Willzees new album, Deep Tinker, is a profound exploration of ancestral memory, political history, and personal experiences as a Traveller. Blending rap, Irish folk, and spoken word, the album delves into themes of marginalization, family, and resilience. Incorporating traditional Irish instruments and campfire sounds, it honors elders and connects the old with the new. One track, Let It Rain, addresses the impact of the 1963 Commission on Itinerancy. Beyond music, Willzee is actively involved in community outreach and mentorship programs. This album is a powerful statement of identity and a celebration of Traveller culture, woven with personal narrative and social commentary.
