Eleanor McEvoy: Thrifting, touring and healing from heartache

This September, Oxfam is encouraging people to take a stance against the impact of fast fashion and to shop second hand. With the textile sector contributing to 10% of global pollution, Oxfam’s Second Hand September is an initiative to prevent clothes ending up in landfill and to give garments a new lease of life. Singer and musician Eleanor McEvoy is one of the ambassadors for this year’s campaign and in today’s episode she talks to Róisín Ingle about why she got involved, her tips for finding the best gems in charity stores and how her own style has evolved through the years. She also speaks about her latest tour, her love of performing and the heartache which inspired her 2021 album, ‘Gimme Some Wine’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
