The Joe Jackson Interviews

Keith Duffy 1994. Tears and Anger in Boyzone.

In 1995 I wrote the official Boyzone book, Boyzone: Our Story. However, it wasn't until 2020 when I began doing  Podcasts and revisited cassette tapes of interviews I did for that book and for articles in Irish newspapers and magazines, that I discovered there were many things Keith Duffy told me about the battles behind the scenes the band had with their manager Louis Walsh at the time.  In fact, this tape/podcast was recorded at Elstree Studio in London while Boyzone were recording their first appearance on the TV show Top of the Pops and during a break from rehearsals, Keith and I sat on a stairway outside the building and as he told me about the pressures he was under Duffy began to cry. The tale is told, about conflict over contracts, and so on,  relates to not only any boyband but also any musician in the music industry. Hopefully some will learn lessons from this Podcast.
