Kieran has worked for a number of national TV and radio broadcasters in Britain and Ireland. In this chat, recorded earlier today outside the Crows Nest pub, in Crosby, near Liverpool, we talk mainly about his time at Radio City - the first Independent Local Radio Service on Merseyside.
Kieran has some cracking tales - some funny, some poignant - about stories and people he covered for the station, but we also talk about the darker side of Liverpool in the late 1970s and '80s - a time when the then 'de facto' council leader, Derek Hatton, described the city as being in a 'pre-revolutionary state'.
We end on an optimistic note about the way Liverpool has changed for the better - and its chances of weathering the current economic storm.
Are you the delightful man who billeted himself at the United Arts Club in Dublin?
I came sometimes with John Calder
