The Global Gael - Immigrants, Emigrants & Keith - An Irish Musician's Story
from Our Man In Stockholm · host Philip O'Connor
Back in the 1980s Ireland was awash with brilliant bands all being chased by record companies looking for the next U2, and when they found a teenage drummer from Walkinstown and his older brother, they thought they'd found them. Keith Walker went on to sign for a major label and tour the world, becoming hugely famous in Japan in the process, but like all such rock 'n roll dreams, it wasn't all plain sailing. A friend for more than three decades, he joins me on the podcast to talk about his life in music and how it took him around the world.
