Rend Collective - How to Speak Northern Irish with Mike Donehey, Tenth Avenue North

Audio By Carbonatix

Oh, if we could only learn a wee bit of Irish! 

Well, wait no further, because Mike Donahey of Tenth Avenue North ("No Man Is An Island") receives a crash course in Irish slang from Gareth Gilkeson of Rend Collective  ("Build Your Kingdom Here").

Let's have some laughs and learn a thing or two, shall we lads and lasses?

Rend Collective have never lacked imagination. From the bewildering array of children’s toys and whimsical, handmade oddities they call instruments, to the hare-brained and wonderfully impractical scheme of recording a live album on the beach around a campfire, to the safety-defying audacity of shooting a music video on a fully-operational fishing boat in the turbulent Irish Sea, this fascinating worship community have always pursued the colorful and unexpected.

Fittingly, the genre-blurring artists have an unusual backstory. Hailing from the small coastal town of Bangor in Northern Ireland, the Collective developed organically, outside of the influence of the music industry and CCM culture, as a self-described “group of confused twenty-somethings trying to figure out faith, life, God and community.”
