Episode 135 - Paul Linehan of The Frank and Walters

from Let Christy Take It · host Let Christy Take It

On this week’s episode we are joined by Paul Linehan of The Frank and Walters. The Frank and Walters have established themselves as one of Ireland’s and more importantly, Cork’s most beloved and enduring bands. From their early ‘90s heyday with hits like Fashion Crisis Hits New York and After All, to their continued success through numerous album releases. Their story is one of resilience, creativity, and timeless appeal. Join us as we talk with Paul about the founding of the band and their rapid rise to fame following the move to London. Hear about having Noel Gallagher as a roadie and the tale behind the early Oasis demo tape, and that unforgettable moment meeting Paul McCartney on Top of the Pops. We also explore the lasting impact of After All after its revival through the hit TV show The Young Offenders. Let Christy Take It is proud to bring you Paul Linehan.
