Nathalie LennonHOST
So before we get into what you do now, I suppose, tell us a little bit about Brian O'Loughlin and how you got to where you are now.

Brian O'LoughlinGUEST
I don't know how long ago, but about a decade ago, I... was looking at the Irish fitness industry in a different kind of way.

Brian O'LoughlinGUEST
I was 22 years of age, I had shoulder injury for four years I couldn't get rid of.

Nathalie LennonHOST
But when did the shift happen? When did you kind of go, OK, I don't just want to be working with people to improve just their mobility? When did this shift happen?

What about sessions? When would you have started playing sessions?

Brian O'LoughlinGUEST
Well, I remember my first session actually was, um, we used to play up in Kilfenora on, um...

Brian O'LoughlinGUEST
I was probably about 11 or 12, I think, when we started doing it during the summers, myself and my brother Keith on the banjo, and Emer Howley from Kilfenora, she was on the fiddle, and Paul Reddan, another guy from Kilfenora as well, he was on the piano.

Brian O'LoughlinGUEST
So we used to play on a Tuesday and a Friday night in Vahan's in Kilfenora pub, and that was, I suppose, my first introduction to playing out in, in pubs.

That first flute then, Brian, was a Brendan McMahon flute.
