Episode 65
Today, I’ll be chatting with Jack Fogarty. I came to know Jack when he began hurling with my club here in Toronto, Na Piarsaigh. Jack is a laid back character who has become a feature of the Irish community here in Toronto. Jack regularly performs in Irish bars around the city. For St. Patrick’s Day in 2025, Jack managed to organise his band, The Fogues, who are still based in Ireland, to come to Toronto where they played a few gigs to huge success. Jack’s relaxed outlook on life is one I hope to take with me going forward. I really hope you enjoy this chat with Cork native, Jack Fogarty.
