I met Steve Wall and his brother Joe many years ago when they were hanging around Dublin and talking about starting a band. Since then he has had tremendous success with The Stunning and The Walls.

Over the years we have occasionally crossed paths but never had a chance to sit down and have a pint together. Last September we happened to share bill at a couple of gigs in the States when I was hosting a show with Mundy, Ash, The Stunning and The Boomtown Rats in Terminal 5, New York and The Royal, Boston.

It was great to hook up again and thanks to Steve my guitar didn't speed off into the night in the back of a New York taxi!

Steve dropped in for a chat about growing up in Ennistymon, his first airplane flight, forming The Stunning and his burgeoning new acting career.
