US: Supreme Court takes up major LGBT+ job discrimination cases

(Reuters) – The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide whether US law banning workplace discrimination on the basis of sex protects gay and transgender workers, as the conservative-majority court waded into a fierce dispute involving a divisive social issue.

Listen: Richard Mulligan – Wagon Wheel

Posted by EILE Magazine on April 22, 2019 in Culture & Arts, Multimedia, Music, News & Current Affairs, Reviews

Richard Mulligan is an Irish Country & Western singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, who has recently released his debut album, I Never Met You, and we are delighted to feature his cover of Wagon Wheel from this album today on EILE.

Richard has lived in Dublin for the last 30 years, having grown up Galway, and is also a former champion International Runner, who has won many races, but music was always close to his heart. For a long time, he wanted to record an album with some of his own songs, and some covers which he would do in his own style. He cites Elvis as one of his major musical influences, and also includes country singers like Reba McEntire, Don Williams, Tom T Hall, and the Irish country star, Big Tom. Have a listen to his version of Wagon Wheel, and see what you think!
