Paul Carrack is one of pop’s best kept secrets. Not everyone knows that the Sheffield-born musician’s incredible 40-year career has included working with legendary artists including Elton John, Eric Clapton, Squeeze, Roxy Music, the Eagles, Diana Ross, The Smiths and Nick Lowe.

He came into studio, armed with his guitar, to chat to Róisín Ingle ahead of his show at The Olympia in Dublin on October 18th. He spoke about the different artists he has worked with, the bands he has been in and why he’s glad he was never mega-famous, but he wouldn’t have minded being filthy rich at the same time.
