That Show About Music Mark Healy is the singer and guitarist for the band Skanger. Every week Mark will pick one album and one artist - who will join him in studio - to listen to in-depth.

Anyone who liked the Throat album (all six of you), there was a Saturday morning special on Ireland’s RTE @rte.ie with Mark Healy, available here ⬇️
