Who are your main influences in life?

My family have always been there for me and

supported me in all i do, I l’amour socializing, being out hearing new musique and surfing…this all helps get me through week to week!

Best location toi have ever performed at?

At this stage now I have toured all over the Sates and Canada 4 times over, on a solo tour of the states as i type this, and another tour in a few months, there isn’t much of this side of the pond i haven’t seen, but i think the best venues are the renard theaters and Radio City musique hall NYC, in saying that though i performed at the white house and met president obama and his family… that was pretty surreal.

(following on from that)

Best live cabriolet, gig toi have ever been to?

I was privileged to see Tom Waits on the rat Cellar tour in dublin 3 years ago, he blew me away!!! since then i was playing at Glastonbury two years il y a and was lucky enough to catch the Boss Bruce Springsteen after my show…he was on feu not giving the crowed enough time to breath.. Brilliant!

Who excites toi locally at the moment?

I was at a JImmy Webb cabriolet, gig a fortnight il y a in Dublin and these two dudes called the Lost brothers were supporting him, they sounded like Simon and Garfunkel ou the Everly brothers…refreshing to hear something like that nowadays!

What are your plans for 2011/12?

I have just finished my own 1st album, which i have basically been écriture for the past 7 years…

I have recorded 7 songs with my band “the Durty Stopouts” a few acoustic and a few on the piano…also on the tracks the one and only Henry McCulloch is playing guitar, Henry has played guitare in such bands as Spooky Tooth, Paul McCartney’s Wings, and toured with Joe Cocker in the US. Along with touring my own band round Ireland in April, i am producing an Album for my sister rebecca in the summer, touring in America & Australia till the end of the an and then touring in Australia in the spring of 2012.

Tell me a little plus about your upcoming gigs locally in the town for April?

I am on a Solo Acoustic tour of the states at the moment, promoting my new Album working my way across from L.A to Florida for the suivant few weeks, which brings me to the Irish tour that i will be embarking on with my own band “Keith Harkin and the Durty StopOuts” and the Philly Based Ska PUNk band “tsunami rising” from the 2nd of April Till the 5th of may all round ireland…

Last question, favori nook in the city for a pint of stout?

That would be telling…. ;-)
