It\u2019s not every week a striking piece of early 20th century Irish art makes it to the upper-echelons of the British popular music charts, but so it was this week with Oliver Sheppard\u2019s remarkable The Death of Cuchullain, bracing the front of the new Fontaines DC record. Denied by Taylor Swift there - and the Coronas at home - the album cover has reignited interest in one of Ireland\u2019s great artists who helped shape our collective identity of what it meant to be Irish, and whose incredible statue gazes on us from the window of the GPO.\nTo discuss further, Donal Fallon joins Sean Defoe this week for another episode of Hidden Histories.\nListen and subscribe to\xa0On The Record with Gavan Reilly\xa0on\xa0Apple Podcasts,\xa0Google Podcasts\xa0and\xa0Spotify.\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\nDownload, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.\n\xa0\xa0\xa0\nYou can also listen to Newstalk live on\xa0newstalk.com\xa0or on Alexa, by\xa0adding the Newstalk skill\xa0and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'.
