EP57 - A Tonic For the Troops by The Boomtown Rats

<p>On this episode I’m joined by Bob Geldof to talk about The Boomtown Rats&#39; second album, A Tonic For the Troops. Our chat goes in many different directions: Ireland of the 1970s, signing to Ensign Records, working with producer Mutt Lange, the Catholic Church in Ireland, The Boomtown Rats at 50, ‘Rat Trap’ hitting No. 1 in the UK and more.
