Ep 41 Unsung heroes of the Galway music scene #3 with Keith Wallace

In the third of the series we talk to the head of Galway's Rusted Rail Records and Loner Deluxe founder Keith Wallace.He reminds us of what Galway and its music scene was like when he started the label in March 2006 and guides us through the story of finding acts on MySpace, and burning and releasing music on mini CDs. The brilliant thing is that he is essentially still doing the same DIY, community-based thing albeit with updated social media and technology.Keith also plays in several lo fi electronic/folk/psych outfits including Loner Deluxe, Moving Statues, A Lilac Decline and Cubs - all available on the Rusted Rail Bandcamp page.Rusted Rail on InstagramRusted Rail on BandcampThe aim of this series is to shine a light on the heroes in the shadows. Those who host the small scale shows and events which encourage and develop upcoming bands and where you might see your next new musical love. Although Galway-based, the themes apply to any such place with a thriving sonic sub culture.The quote Keith mentions is: "The musical canon is not decided by majority opinion but by enthusiasm and passion, and a work that ten people love passionately is more important than one that ten thousand do not mind hearing"
