In this episode my guest is Hail the Ghost frontman and songwriter Kieran O'Reilly . In this episode Kieran talks about his love for music. He also tells about how a conversation in the pub one night lead to him becoming the new drummer for the band Doris, despite not knowing how to play the drums at the time. He also talks about his time in White McKenzie, and playing live at the Battle of the Bands and how uncomfortable it felt for him.

Hwe also discusses his latest band Hail the Ghost,  and talks about how his acting career came about, and his time in the likes of Love/Hate and Vikings. He also discusses Hail the Ghosts 2020 single Wishbone, which was in tribute to 3 year old Syrian boy Alan Kurdi who died in September 2015 and whose body was found washed up on a Turkish beach, and how the image of that boy affected him so much.
