:: Tripoli

Thanks so much to Darran McCrann for the interview! Some months ago I discovered a couple of songs on Soundcloud. There was no band name, but the credits of the two songwriters, McCrann and Firmager. I found they had been based in Ireland and Australia. Lots of things weren’t clear. But the songs were good. I wanted to know more. Not too long ago Darran got in touch and was kind enough to answer all of my questions with detail. I’m very happy to have learned a bit about their story. Check Tripoli out! ++ Hi Darran! Thanks so much for being up for this interview! How are you? Are you still involved with music? That’s for showing interest and taking the time. Yes and no, occasionally I still collaborate with Liam Firmager (we’ve worked together on and off since the Tripoli-era). Recently I helped an old bandmate Phil Dean of The Snow Ponies to arrange some tracks from his forthcoming album to be released later in 2026. ++ Let’s go back in time. What are your first music memories? Do you…
