Keith grew up in Kilmore near Cavan town in the Republic of Ireland and thats also where is journey with bands started - starting marching band life in an accordion band and then progressing to playing drums with a flute band in Fermanagh after moving there for secondary school.

Keith's passion for bands is evident as he talks about his time with South Fermanagh Loyalists and also Ballinamallard Accordion Band. He has gained a lot from his time in bands and cites band membership as having a very positive impact on his mental health, something that has been vitally important during these days with the covid-19 pandemic.

His perspective on the bands is a very positive one and infectious, and I know you will enjoy the conversation with Keith.
